<div class="bbWrapper">I have all my doors set to unlock when I put the car in Park. But every once in a while I go to get something out of the back seat and the rear doors (only) are locked. What gives?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">May be a glitch. Either that or else a mysterious protocol vis-a-vis locking/unlocking doors. I still manage to foil my attempts to get into my own car, after 32 plus months. I don&#039;t really understand it, or forget what to expect. Etc.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">It&#039;s been awhile, but I thought it was programmable. When I press the button on the driver&#039;s side door handle, it unlocks all the doors, but I&#039;m pretty sure that pressing the passenger door button only unlocks my front doors. I do have a vague recollection of adjusting some settings to get all 4 doors to unlock.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">When the engine is running and you get out, all bets are off. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick Out Tongue :P" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> I&#039;ve noticed that when I go to open a passenger door, it is locked. Pushing the front passenger button does nothing; in order to unlock a passenger door with the engine running, I have to walk around to the driver&#039;s door, open it and push the unlock button.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">lol they are trying to keep us safer! No jumping out with the car running!</div>

I have noticed I need to unlock them the few times I have gone into the back. Never thought much about it as I hardly ever go into the back seats. I will need to play with the car some and see what it does.<br /> <br /> I need to go out and see how I have the setting set for the doors. I know for sure only the drivers door unlocks and all lock once driving.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">This is something I ran across. My daughter says the door never unlocks. It was set to unlock when in P. Well, I usually just push the on/off button to shut off the car (before hitting P) and it automatically goes into Park and shuts down, but the rear doors don&#039;t unlock.<br /> <br /> I switched it to unlock at shut off and that works, but I&#039;d rather have it unlock in Park, even when I don&#039;t press P before shutting it off.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s a weird system for sure.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve had this happen to me, but only a few times. I have no idea what triggers it.</div>
