If you approach the passenger door and attempt to open it first, it will unlock, and it will also unlock the driver's side.

If you unlock the driver's side first, the passenger side will stay locked. This is to keep you from being carjacked by someone waiting for your doors to unlock so they can jump in from the other side. As has been said, you can turn that feature off so that it unlocks both doors from either side.

It does not shut off. That's a safety feature. If it shut off when it doesn't detect the key fob, it could potentially shut off while you're driving it if your battery went dead or your key fob were defective. That could be an unpleasant surprise.

The car will let you drive without the key until you shut it off. Then it won't restart.
