Are you sure you didn't push the button on your fob twice?

I think four beeps is the standard warning that the accelerator is going to get stuck.

4 beeps during an unlock means there was an unsuccessful attempt during a prior unlock. I.E: Someone tried opening the door without the key, or your first try didn't register.

also, one of your door lock actuators could have gone bad. hit your unlock button after you make sure all doors are locked. if one is not unlocked, there you have it. mine is my passenger side front. i only get the 4 beeps if i open my back doors before my driver door. unless under warrenty, i would not take it to the dealer to fix - mine quoted 700 to fix 1 door lock. evidently the whole assembly needs to be replaced as it contains everything in one piece. the shop that does my repairs quoted 350, which seems much more reasonable.

It did not sound clear to me. You open (grab the handle) the back doors before driver door with the smart key in your pocket? and car locked?
