Disable proximity unlock?

On my 2012 XK, the windows can be set to open with FOB by going to the menu as follows, it works fine on my US car but perhaps it is an addition to the 2012 firmware?
VEHICLE -> SECURITY -> click the Page Down arrow in middle of screen twice, then click on the GLOBAL WINDOWS OPEN/CLOSE.
The other feature I am not familiar with, the doors unlock when you are close, not when you touch the handle? I have not seen that setting but I am new...

Thanks for the help.

What tampamark said, the Unlock will only work if the door handle is pulled while the Smart Key (not a FOB) is within a couple feet. Some people think that the electronics stay 'alive' when the Smart Key is within RF range and thus drain the car's battery, but that doesn't make any sense because the transponder is WAY out of range. Sort of like those Key Cards for secured doors, they have to be very close to work.
My 2010 has the Global Open/Close, you your 2011 should be fine. In fact, I think ALL the X150s have it.

100% confirm: the RF transmitters on the locking system don't wake up and 'ping' the key until you yoink the handle. It may feel instantaneous, but the system is powered down until the handle moves, then the authentication handshake only takes a few milliseconds before the lock is released.

Someday there'll be a plug-compatible lithium-polymer (or some other) battery that we can drop in which will have massive reserves and all of this low-power cack will go away.
