Comfort Access Question

I think I read someone else asking the same question...but here goes.
When I open the car one push and it opens.
When I lock the first push seems to raise the door lock and the second does nothing but it moves and the 3rd push locks the door.
If I lock the car from the passenger side both doors lock on the first push.
Anyone else notice this happening? Are you able to change it in the programming?

Have you tried holding the button for 2-3sec to lock?

Also, check the radio settings in the Doors/key

Mine does this too when i have the door locks set to auto lock during driving. Once i deactivated the auto locking, the Comfort Access button on the drivers door handle locks on the first press.

I have run into what you are describing as well with my comfort access. The note about disabling makes sense, I would guess the auto unlock of opening the door is what may be trowing it off and making for the extra push/delay.

As I recall in the owners manual it mentioned there is a brief delay in the system if the car was just locked or unlocked before the fob or comfort access keys will work again. I think they do this by design to prevent the lock mechanisms from being constantly toggled. I will be disabling the auto lock feature when driving as well.

I have the comfort, and i see the same thing. I might try to only unlock the drivers only when pressing the door button.

I have mine set to only unlock the drives door with the black button but I still get the delay talked about here. I do have it set for auto-lock on driving and I'm going to turn that off.

I've found that if both doors are unlocked, then a single push of the button will lock everything. If the driver's door is unlocked and the passenger's door is locked, I see the behavior you're describing. That's probably why the "lock doors while driving" setting affects this too. I've found that if I push the unlock button on the door handle while exiting that a single button push will lock everything. It's a weird work around though. There should be somewhere to configure this a bit better. Although I suppose since I'm already hitting unlock on the door handle, I could just as easily hit lock. That only works if there's not a slowly exiting passenger in the car.
