Default Pass door unlock question

2005 vdp. Never driven a car before without accessible door unlocks close at hand. I get in the car getting ready and my wife turns up and I have to lean over and manually unlock the passenger door.
What on earth am I doing wrong... lol

Should be a button on the dash next to the hazards.

Three things to fix this.
1. The gentlemanly thing to do is to open the door for your good lady before entering the car your self.
2. Press the key fob unlock button twice and this will unlock all the doors.
3. If you are already in the car then pull the secondary door latch (the small one above the lever) and this will also unlock all the doors.

Thanks all, Yellow bandit's suggestion works perfectly, button on the dash next to the hazards, pop she gets it.
Sorry Bob, can't open the door in the garage so if she want's in she going to have to pull the handle specially when it's raining - lol

That second lever above your door handle is the accessible door lock. The button on the dash hits it, too, so either one gets it done.
