    Just noticed that the first time you try and open the front passenger door and rear passenger doors from the inside they only open when you pull the handle a second time
    This is only an issue if the engine is running otherwise the doors opens at the first attempt
    The setting for 'Lock when driving' is disabled/off
    Any ideas?

    You’re not trying to open the door when there is potentially something approaching on the road are you??

    I am parked on my driveway but I'll experiment in case I am too close to something
    My daughter first alerted to me to the issue but I'm not sure of the exact circumstances in that instance

    When I park on the street and try to open the drivers door I will often get the Side Assist lights in the mirror illuminate and the top bar of led on the door go red if something is approaching. I never sit in the passenger seat so haven’t tried it from that side but I’d assume it reacts in the same way.

    Before I book my car in under warranty please can anyone with an A6 C8 confirm if their front passenger & rear doors open from the inside with one pull of the handle only (when the engine is running)?

    Do the doors autolock when you pull off?

    The setting for 'Lock when driving' is disabled/off
    I have enabled & then disabled again but no difference
    I understand that BMWs operate like this but I'm sure that my A6 didn't originally
    I don't know for certain when it started or what may have caused it
    It was in for a s'ware update for the memory seat issue end of April?

    Hi mate,

    As mentioned previously. My car went in for this issue on the drivers door.

    They carried out a SW update & touchwood had it only 2 times since.

    Ref the other doors. Had this on the passengers door a few times. It does seem to come & go with no real pattern.

    Guessing a SW glitch, but does seem to right it's self.

    I found this more common when the car is not being used regular.

    Mine did this frequently on all the doors and at one point the drivers door would not open even with multiple pulls. A software update has made it much better but still does it very occasionally.
