Keyfobs question

I’m trying to understand if this is normal with the keyfobs.

Car is locked, driver one enters the car, it is being recognized as driver one, everything adjusts correctly.

Now driver one leave the car and doesn’t lock the doors, now driver two enters the car, because the door wasn’t locked by driver one after exiting the car the car doesn’t recognize the keyfob 2 as driver two.

If driver one locks the door after leaving everything is ok.

This is normal behavior. Only changes settings upon lock/unlock. However, inside car, with D1 previously recognized, Driver2 can press D2 button on door to change most of the settings to D2. The seat and wheel change for sure. Can't remember if radio stations, etc also change.

This is typical in household where car is parked in garage and not locked.
Simple procedure to make sure settings are correct "first time everytime":
Touch door handle first to lock, then inside door handle to unlock. I do this when I know wife has used car (which is rare).

ehhh.... key fob should be where they are, in your pocket.... it shouldn't be hard to touch the nipple on the door handle to lock it.... when you have your hands full, use your nose, elbow, forehead, ear, toes, to lock it.... more convenient than reaching into the pocket to push the button..... and if you are really worry about driver settings, set both key fob to have the same setting so it won't bother you or make a difference which key fob setting you need

It just looked strange to me that the car doesn't recognize which keyfob is inside the car unless you unlock the door with it.

Another thing I found out is that you can't lock the door from the outside using the dimple on the handle if you do not have the keyfob with you.

yep... it's like leaving your key fob inside your car, it won't lock either
