Question Tailgate Walk Away auto lock

I'm not having any luck with the tailgate walk away lock locking the car.
Per the manual, it seems that will all vehicle doors closed, the car off and the fob outside of the car, the car should lock when the walk away tailgate button is locked.
Is that correct or is only the tailgate supposed to lock in those conditions??
When attempting this, I push the tailgate walk away button and it turns green. I walk away and get a beep and lights flash as the door closes. I go beyond the five foot limit and wait a couple of minutes and when I return (without the fob) the vehicle doors open.

Again, my understanding is that upon exiting the car with car off and all doors closed that opening the tailgate pushing the walk away lock (with fob on me) and leaving the vehicle area that the tailgate and all doors would lock...???
Thanks for any input that can be provided!!

Resolved

After fighting this for a couple of days, I resolved it 15 minutes after I posted....

I also wanted to mention my wife and I have 90+% success with hands free open - simple kick forward and back continuous motion right in the middle below bumper. No hold or wiggle-waggle of foot and it is quick and reliable.

Determined that Individual setting is specific to key fob - fob 1 can be set with Normal Engine, Comfort Steering, auto stop off and Gauges normal; fob 2 individual mode can have Sport Engine, Sport Steering, auto stop on and Gauges Sport.

Setting each fob?

So how do you set each fob?

Start car with Fob 1
Hold dynamic button 2 seconds to enter customization mode
Make parameter selections
Press Memory and "1" button to save settings.

Repeat for Fob 2
You can make different parameter selections
Press Memory and "2" button to save settings.

The dynamic button is on the car - the large, round knob/button right above the transmission selector.

You turn it to select driving dynamic mode or push it to select the INDIVIDUAL mode.

Holding the button in for 2 seconds takes you into the features that can be customized in INDIVIDUAL mode.

The features customized for INDIVIDUAL mode are associated to the FOB in use just like the side mirror/seat/steering wheel setting.

I have the same issue with the car not locking with Walk Away turned on after closing the rear hatch last. Walk Away works perfect if I just exit the car and don't use the rear hatch. Does it matter if I open the rear hatch from in the car button on the door or access it from outside?
