I switched off the settings to lock and unlock when approaching or leaving the vicinity of the car. The headlights still come on sometimes when I get near the car when it is locked. I think it might have something to do with the key going to sleep after about 30 seconds. If you then lift the key and go near the car the headlights sometimes, not always, light up.
Very strange, still trying to understand the logic.
I have the same experience and believe your assessment is correct. I also switched off lock/unlock when approaching/leaving the car. While I love the concept the execution is painful when the car is parked in the home garage and you walk by several times a day.
