No. These are the only ways I've found to unlock the doors:

1. Press unlock on the key fob. This unlocks all 4 doors per my profile setting.
2. Use the comfort access door handles from the outside, which opens all 4 doors.
3. Press unlock on any interior door panel which opens all 4 doors.
4. Open any door from the inside, which unlocks that specific door.

I've never seen the doors unlock under any other circumstance. If they unlocked when the engine switched to off or the tranny was put into park then the that would be great.
So is the comfort access not opening your rear doors when you go back to get your daughter out?

I've found if I reach for the door to let my son in, letting him walk in front of me and standing far enough back to open the door and not hit him with it..., it's too far away for the comfort access to work. You have to be pretty squared up to the handle. I have to actually have him walk past the rear part of door so I can unlock it, then step back so I can open the door.. He's still too small to let him just walk behind me and climb in without me being behind him.
