We can unlock only driver door using the remote.
But while inside the car, when open driver door, can we NOT unlock other doors?

there is a unlock button on the drivers door that will unlock all the doors...

and the remote itself should unlock all doors... if not with one push then try two.

i think this is what you were asking.

Like said above, try pushing the unlock button once, then once again. Most likely your remote has been programmed to only unlock the driver door with one push. If you would like to have it open all the doors with one push, hold down the lock/unlock buttons together for 10 seconds and this will reprogram to open all doors.

I think the OP wants the option to just unlock his door from inside the car when he is getting out, and not have all the other doors unlocked as well?

Yes this is what I wish to know and thank you for re-phrasing. Sorry for my bad English, is not my mother tongue.

Not that I know of. I would ask the AD when you bring the car in for service next time.

you could always manually just pull up the driver's door lock...

I thought that too. Why would you need to do anything else besides pull that up? Seeing as though you're only opening one door it makes sense to just pull up the pin.

I think once you open the drivers door it will unlock all of the other doors. I could be wrong though.

When doors are locked, the whole door knobs/pins moved down and nothing sticked out for us to pull. Since we have the security feature to open only the driver's door with the remote control, for the same security reason, I wish the feature is available to only unlock the driver's door when we pull the inside door handle.

white and whiter
when the key is in the ignition when you pull the driver door handle only the driver door will unlock. all doors will unlock only when the key is out of ignition. if that's what you are asking.

you can change the program on the key by holding the lock+unlock at the same time for 10sec or so till the light on the key flashes. It toggles the mode between unlocking driver's door only and unlocking all doors on first click. if this is what you are asking.

Thanks!

Yes, we can unlock the drivers side door by pulling down the handle door pin, but we cannot open the other doors by using this method.

You mean you can toggle this feature back and forward by holding down the two buttons?
