Default Unlock both handles

Is there a way to unlock and open both handles when the driver walks up to the car and presses the button on the driver side to open that handle? To open the passenger handle I have to manually push the unlock button on the driver side which I forget to do half the time.

Your key/car is set up for single point entry. You need to program the key fob for multi-point entry:
To change from Single to Multi-point entry (or
vice versa), press both the lock and unlock
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The
hazard warning lamps will flash twice to confirm
the change.

Just think what an expert Lance will be when he actually has an F-type. There's a menu setting for 'double unlocking' but I have no idea what that does differently.

That worked, thanks!

Glad the method suggested here worked, but the more obvious way to do it is on the set-up selection on the center cluster menu screen.

If I had the car, I wouldn't have known this trick. I'd be our driving instead of memorizing the owner's manual.

Pressing the fob unlock button a second time will pop the other door and the boot if you don't want to try reprogramming.

I generally just keep the fob in my pocket while approaching the car and use the handles to unlock.
