I have noticed that on occassion when I open the driver's side door when exiting the vehicle that only my door unlocks. I would say this happens every 1 out of 5 times. I actually like this feature since I have a young child in the backseat. It seems that there is no reference to it in the manual. On all other occassions ALL doors unlock when you open the driver side. Is tis an electrical glitch? BTW I allow the doors to lock automatically when I drive off.

So it's just not mine then. This past weekend I visited my parents and had 4 people riding in the car and it seemed a couple of times the back doors wouldn't unlock without me pressing the unlock button up front. Later that day it worked like it should. Weird.

I also notice this problem. Mine is configured to auto-lock when driving off and single press to unlock all doors (as opposed to dual press to unlock driver side and then other doors). I'm trying to pay more attention to it to see if I can determine some sequence or how to duplicate it. My initial guess is a s/w bug.

On my Toyota it will only unlock all doors if the ignition is off. If the ignition is on, only the driver door unlocks.

I didn't try with ignition on, only with ignition off.

Any updates / findings?

This happens to my C32 too. What is the secret? I cannot find it in the owner's manual.

I presume all of you have checked the LCD display Menus as whether there is an option to set. If it does not have such option, it means this scenario is MB's 'safety design'? Anyhow, there is nothing stopping the passengers to get out from the car; but to stop the people getting into the car. I kind of like this because I have heard numerous stories that some gansters in the streets will open your car doors and rob your handphones , wallets when your are parked still....

Happens on mine too. I had the dealer re-sync the locks, & it only lasted as long as he had it (naturally). I think it's indeed a SW bug. I also note that sometimes when the other doors don't unlock, I can open the unlocked driver's door hours later from the outside, and all the other doors *then* unlock.

Kind of unpredictable at this time. For some reason, if I take a short trip, e.g. stop at post office and then stop less than 1/4 mi away at my favorite coffee place, all doors unlock. Then after my 28 mi ride to work, only the driver's door unlocks. We will figure it out someday ... maybe, or MB will and then let us know there is a s/w fix.

Can somebody in U.S. volunteer to call MB USA how to use this feature? In here, Canada, they don't know this feature, they just keep telling me to look at the manual.
