Unlocking the WK2

Silly question I know but I just can't seem to figure it out. When I walk up to my WK2 and put my hand on the inside the door handle the drivers door unlocks without a problem. From here, how do you unlock the rest of the doors without opening up the driver door and pressing the unlock button on the door control pad?

With my father in-laws Morano, he presses the botton on the handle once to open the driver door and a 2nd time to open all of the other doors.

Thanks in advance lol

I feel silly asking the question...

You have two options. First is to pull out the fob and push the unlock button twice. Second, in the setup menu in the evic, you can set the unlock mode to be all doors instead of driver side only. In this case, your hand in the handle or one push on the fob will unlock all doors at once.

LOL, thanks for sparing me the embarrassment of asking! I know how to unlock all using the fob, but what's the point of that? I'm sure it can be done with the door but couldn't figure it out when I went out there and tried just now.

Then again, I've only had my WK2 for 24 hrs. :D Sorry Mash, couldn't resist.

There's an EVIC setting for that. Scroll through and find one that sets all doors to open rather than just the driver's door. This from the Owner's Manual...


NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with Passive Entry

and the EVIC is programmed to Unlock All Doors 1st
Press, all doors will unlock no matter which Passive
Entry equipped door handle is grasped. If Driver Door
1st Press is programmed, only the driver’s door will
unlock when the driver’s door is grasped. With Passive
Entry, if Driver Door 1st Press is programmed touching
the handle more than once will only result in the driver’s
door opening. You have to touch a passenger Passive
Entry equipped door handle to unlock all doors passively
when Driver’s Door Only is programmed in the EVIC.

Thanks, I read this but I guess I just didnt want to believe it. What is the point in having a passive entry system if the only way to unlock all the doors is to either 1.) set it to unlock all doors all the time, 2.) pull out the FOB and use the button or 3.) walk around to the passenger door, unlock it by gripping the handle, then walking back around to the driver door to enter the truck.

Seems a little counter-intuitive to me...

Thanks for the input guys. Cperez was right on the way I was expecting the passive entry system to handle unlocking the remaining passenger doors. Please let me be clear, I am not complaining, bitching, nit-picking etc.. I was simply asking a clarifying question on how the entry function of the passive system works in relation to how it works on other cars that I have owned in the past.

It works differently, not a problem, a little unexpected but that's it, I will just adjust how I let other people into the vehicle. :D

This thread reminded me to comment on how useful the WK2 iPhone app has been during my orientation phase. I have looked up a bunch of stuff while sitting in the vehicle. Much more ergonomic for me than a printed manual, not that I would want to give that option up. FWIW
