Has this happened to anyone else? I’m walking toward the car, so I hit Unlock on the keyfob. As I get close to the door, the car senses the keyfob (it usually unlocks when I’m nearby if it’s locked, which is a nice feature), but instead of unlocking—or doing nothing—it locks the door again, undoing what I just did. Does anyone else deal with this?
If you don’t open the door within a few seconds, the car automatically re-locks for security reasons.
Yep, if you don’t open the door within about 20 seconds, it re-locks. You might be able to toggle this in the settings.
Happens to me all the time. I’ll unlock to unplug the charger, and by the time I hang up the cable, close the port, and walk to the driver’s side, it locks just before I reach the handle. Mildly infuriating.
Others have already answered, but I’m curious—if you know it unlocks automatically when you approach, why unlock it in advance?

I usually unlock it remotely if my kids are ahead of me, so they can get in first.

Got it, that makes sense. Just wondering if it behaves differently if you start the car first?

Yeah, it happens to me now and then too.
