If you hold the back of the door handle with your fingers while pressing the dimple in the front with your thumb, the doors will not lock, because holding the back of the handle unlocks them.
I've found myself absent-mindidly doing this and wondering why the doors won't lock. You need to keep all parts of your hand away from the rear of the coor handle when locking the doors.
I'm not saying this is the problem but it may be worth giving it a try.
You can also disable and re-enable keyless locking as follows:Disabling
· Open driver’s door
· Ensure key fob is inside the car
· Press headlight flash button 3 times
· Then press unlock button once
Re-enabling
· Open driver’s door
· Ensure key fob is inside the car
· Press headlight flash button 3 times
· Press lock button once

Just a quick comment here about the touch lock/unlock feature. On my 2022 XE, when I come to lock I find, sometimes, one touch locks the doors, a second touch emits a muted “clunk” and a third beeps and activates the alarm. Other times it only takes two touches. Anyone else has experienced that?
A change to a comment above about unlocking: One touch on the driver’s only unlocks the driver’s door. One touch on any of the other doors opens all doors. Excellent comment above about enabling or disabling the function.
