Default Unlocking barn door

Dumb question, but how do you unlock the rear door other than physically pushing a button on the fob or unlocking from inside? Like when you have gloves on and don't want to reach in your pocket to unlock.

Another dumb one - can I program the truck to unlock the passenger door when I unlock the drive door using the keyless feature. I've just been getting in and hitting the interior unlock button to unlock the passenger door.

Thanks for helping the technologically challenged.

There are lock/unlock buttons below the handle. You just need the fob in the vicinity of the rear.
Locking options are under settings in the infotainment system if I remember correctly? I may have used the Carista app for this.

Edit:
Setup button
Vehicle
Vehicle Customization
Door Lock Settings

The manual has so much information. I just use the electronic version of the manual and then do a quick search (Ctrl+f) and type in what I am looking for.

My little tip, alphabetical order. L is before U, therefore lock is on top, unlock is on the bottom. Hope this helps someone. Spent way too much time standing behind my vehicle pressing the wrong button

LOL Good tip. I use "this is the back door so it is backwards, "up is lock, down is unlock" referring to the old door lock buttons.

I usually just guess. Always 50% chance getting it right.

It seems like it is 100% chance of being wrong when it's raining. Just my experience.
