So after visiting the Denver Auto Show, something occurred to me seeing the Ascent. The front door handles don't have the button that nearly any other car maker has. (grabbing the driver side door unlocks that door, then pushing the button by your thumb unlocks all other doors) So here is my question. With the FOB in my pocket, how do I unlock ALL the doors with out taking the FOB out of my pocket, or opening the drivers door and manually pushing the unlock button?
the settings for controlling the unlock feature can be changed on the large infotainment screen. You can adjust it to unlock only the drivers door or all doors. You will not need to actually touch the drivers door to unlock all the doors if you have the FOB in your possession. I had the same issue with my son.
