2010 460LS Key Fob question

I use the doorknob very frequently to unlock the doors while the fob is in my pocket and have the following issue. There are times when I would like to open the passenger or the rear doors before the driver door and when I walk up to the car after it has been sitting locked and attempt to open useing the door handle, it does not open, rather it tries to lock the already locked car. I have searched through the settings and can not uncover any setting that will change this. Does anyone have the ability to open a locked car using the keyfob sensor and door know sensor function on any door other then the driver? If so can you share how to change?

Thanks in advance

The outside door handles have two separate functions, unlock by reaching through
the handle and lock by pressing the button. Be sure that you do not do both, reach
through and also thumb the button. When you reach through the driver's door it will
unlock only itself (default setting) and when you reach through any passengers door
handle it will unlock all four (4) doors. Touching any door button will lock all doors.
All of these actions are assuming you have the key within three (3) feet of the car.

Are you asking if you can unlock a passenger door without unlocking the driver's? No.
You can change a setting to have the driver's door unlock them all but why? Reaching
through the left side rear door (doesn't need to be actually opened) will unlock them all.
Fob tricks include holding the unlock button down 2-3 seconds and all windows & sunroof
will begin to open! Release to stop partway down, vents a hot car before entering.

rick - If you are interested, it can be changed to where touching the driver's door handle will unlock all 4 doors. I have done that. Why? Because sometimes I have people with me. And I don't want to have riders pulling a dead handle and/or waiting on me to hit the unlock button from inside, or have to remember to touch the rear door handle, and I don't want someone to wonder why I'm either getting the door for them, or why I didn't go ahead and open the door for them (when I just touched the handle and then moved to the front door).

Also, I'm not a small guy. I'm about like Shrek. So I'm neither concerned about safety issues, nor do I live or go into areas where unlocking all 4 doors at the same time is ANY kind of safety issue. I'm not too big on safety issues related to door locking, auto brakes, blind spot, lane departure, etc. Anything that could lead to less driver attentiveness is not so appealing to me.

But yeah, the little black button is for locking only. Get out, push any black button, all doors lock.

IIRC it's in the customizabe menu under the settings / vehicle selection. Not sure pre-2010's had access to this so it may take the Carista app to set it. The Carista app is worth every penny even for 2010+ vehicles, IMO.
