Default Keyless entry problems

Hi all, I just got a funny problem with the key fob, dunno whether is that the default behaviour

let's say I unlock the my gs450h from a distance using my key fob, my wife walking ahead of me , without the key fob, went ahead and open one of the passenger doors, alas, its locked!

I would have thought once the car is unlocked using the key fob, anyone can open the doors without the key fob

Anyone experienced gs owners here can help out?

welcome to clublexus

which door did she try to open? how many times did you press the button on the fob? how long had it be from the time you press to unlock till the time she reached the door handle?

from factory by default, when you press the unlock button once, only the driver front door is unlocked. if you press twice, then all doors are unlocked. if door(s) is/are unlocked but none of them is opened within say 30 seconds, the car will lock itself again.

Thanks for the quick reply

She tried to open the back passenger doors, i just pressed the unlock button once, how long? probably within the next few secs after i pressed

I think my problem is i didn't press it twice,

before that, I hold and press the trunk and lock button together on the key fob while in the car, did that for a few times, the first time it show on the console only driver door icon blinking, 2nd time, it show each of the four doors blinking, one at a time, the 3rd time, it shows all doors blinking, I am not quite sure what does the 2nd time means, can't find in the user manual anywhere

i got a feeling i am suffering from an overdose of technology
