Front passenger door double double locked

[SteveH]

I have a related question to this. When we are out of the van but have left the keys inside is there a chance the van will lock itself? I know that it should only re-lock if it has been unlocked and no doors have opened within a time period but we are paranoid about it getting locked with us in the awning.

That's odd. On my 2017 Beach, one press of "lock" button on the fob locks all doors; one press of the "unlock" button unlocks all doors.

Same with my 2017 Ocean!

Note: If the VW dealer has programmed the single door unlocking function, all the doors and the boot lid will be unlocked only after you press the [unlock] button twice or turn the mechanical [sic] vehicle key twice.
​

The default unlock is that a single press of the unlock button unlocks all doors. I cannot explain why my dealer chose to programme the unlocking of my vehicle differently.

Another locking feature that some might have missed is that a long lock press will close all electrically operated windows.

Also does the reverse on mine. Hold the Unlock button for a few seconds and the doors unlock and front windows Open.

Bizarrely, mine does the same, leading to the ridiculous situation where, after a single long click, the front passenger door has its window lowered, but the door remains locked with the deadlock released.
