Driver Door Lock
So when I’m getting out and the door is open, I press the door lock button by the inside handle. All the doors lock except the drivers door. Annoying since then I have to close the door and then touch the handle for all 4 doors to be locked. Am I missing something regarding the inside door lock button?

Not sure if I’m following you correctly. You want to close the car (before leaving the car parked) by using the inside lock button (on the door card), rather than the tiny square in the outer door handle. Correct?
Wouldn’t it be easier to step out, close the door and lock the car with the little square on the outer door handle?
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I would say interior lock buttons have never been designed for the purposes you are looking for.

That's why I said from the old days. This was a feature back when you had a key in the ignition, to prevent locking the car with the key inside. Not sure why it is still this way?
