Default Keyless Entry Question

Hi guys, just getting used to my '11 GS350 and all is going well. When i approach the car i notice the light underneath the side mirror come on which is nice. But sometimes it takes a minute for my car to automatically unlock. I assumed my remote battery was weak so i replaced it but it's still sometimes taking about 15 seconds for the car to actually unlock the car. It's funny because some people was watch me and think it's not my car haha....

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....

I assume your unlocking the car by putting your hand behind the touch sensitive handle (and not pulling) while not pressing the black button, correct?
Your not wearing gloves and the weather is not extremely cold?

Does it happen to all 4 doors or just the driver's door?

Welcome to keyless entry. Couple of additional tips/tricks,

When pressing the button to lock it chirps, but if you are in a loud area you can
pull on the handle to test if it is truly locked...but only for the first 5 seconds

Drivers door handle opens only it self, passenger doors open them all.
This default setting can be changed to driver's door opens all if desired

Pressing the outside button will not lock if a key is inside but pressing the
inside door lock button can lock on a key...
