Question. I've read the online owner's manual page 34. I'm new to passive entry. The manual states when the key fob is within 5 feet of the door handle you can use passive entry if activated (you have option to turn off the system completely). You also have option to only unlock driver's door or all doors when opening the driver's door. So far so good. Now comes the passenger door. Manual states it works the sane BUT when the passenger door is unlocked ALL doors are unlocked. There is no option to only have it unlock the passenger door.
Here's my question. If the key fob is next to the driver's door handle as you are getting into the driver's side, is the key fob close enough to the passenger door handle to allow someone to open the passenger side door against your will? Does the key fob transmit from one side to the other or does the metal of the doors block the RF signal?
I see this as a serious safey concern if anyone can walk up to your vehicle and open the passenger door at the same time you are opening the driver door.
