C6 doors DO NOT unlock automatically when you're near it. You must either pull on the door handle or press the unlock button on the fob.
Probably the fob needs a new battery. They're pretty cheap.

Yeah, very strange. Probably because your battery is dead! What's up with these stupid threads? Don't get enough attention at home?
I've had the same experience. Battery replaced but in cooler weather I may work the handle for 30-60 seconds and prepare to climb in the hatch before the door will open. In the hot summer in Florida, no problem. Don't shoot the messenger.
battery of the fob right? its a serious thread. just inexperienced with cars
I don't believe your threads are serious. You seem to give us one of these a day. What do you do when your T.V. remote stops working? Do you change the batteries or start a thread about it? Then someone tells you it's the battery, and you keep asking the same question over again. Yes, most likely the battery, now are you going to try changing it or keep asking us if it's the "battery of the fob right?" and saying how strange it is. Is it strange? If the battery died and it stopped working, sounds reasonable to me, not really strange.
A very common battery and very easy to change. 2032 3v and they start acting up when they drop to 2.8v. Watch some U-tube DYI and you dont need any tools just the key to twist it apart.
Be aware that it's possible to buy brand new batteries that are bad. Try to buy from a source where they sell many of them, if possible. If you have a problem with a new one, check the voltage like simplegto suggested above.

Well, you might want to read the manual, and find out that there is a pull-tab in the hatch area that will open the DS door. No need to climb in the back and over the seat.
I have hearing loss- speech deafness - wear hearing aids for 45 years - and have to buy batteries every month - I DON'T but cheap batteries - and it's not unusual a couple of batteries to be bad in a packet.
How do you know that? Is it because the door opens when you pull the door pad? Pulling that door pad is what causes it to unlock when you have the fob with you.
I have the same problem, when it gets down to the teens and 20's, the door likes to not open (recently replaced battery in key fob). Then when I get in the car it says no fob detected and I have to start the car by putting the key fob in the glove box slot.
