interior lights - when i turn off the car, and pull my key out of the ignition, the lights dont stay on. Is this a C-best option or something else?

doors - my drivers side door will automatically unlock when i pull the handle to open the door regardless of it being locked or not. I like this feature but the passenger side does not do this. Is it supposed to

Make sure the switch is on the right setting I think all the way to the left.

I believe only the driver's door unlocks when you pull the handle.

yes, its switched to the "door" position. Seems like it might be a dealer only fix. Let me know!

Both the driver and passenger door unlock/open automatically if handle is pulled. Well, at least it does for my car, I don't know if the older year GS's did this. It's an internally triggered mechanism on the lock. Not something that's computer controlled.

well my 05 RX does it to both doors, thats why this was a concern to me.

computer controlled is in regards to the light, not the door
