Last Door Closed Locking and
Lockout Prevention
With the last door closed locking and lockout prevention
features, your vehicle will do the following:
If you leave your key in the ignition and leave the
driver’s door open, you won’t be able to power
lock the doors.
When you press LOCK on the power door
lock switch or remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped) while any door is open, the doors will
not lock. Instead you will hear three chimes, which
let you know that the last door closed locking feature
is in operation. Five seconds after all the doors are
closed, all the doors will automatically lock.
Programmable Modes
Mode 1: Both Features Off (Doors will always lock
immediately when you press LOCK on the power
door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter,
if equipped.)
Mode 2: Lockout Prevention Only (If you leave your
key in the ignition with the driver’s door open, you will
not be able to lock the doors using your power locks.)
Mode 3: Last Door Closed Locking Only (If the power
door lock switch or remote keyless entry transmitter,
if equipped, is used to lock the vehicle while any door
is open and the key is out of the ignition, you will hear
three chimes. The doors will not lock. Five seconds after
the last door is closed, all doors will lock.)
Mode 4: Both Features On (This combines
Modes 2 and 3.)
When your vehicle was shipped from the factory,
it was programmed to Mode 4. The mode to which
your vehicle was programmed may have changed since
it left the factory. To determine the mode to which your
vehicle is programmed or to program your vehicle to a
different mode, do the following:
1. Follow the instructions for “Entering Programming
Mode” listed previously.
2. Press UNLOCK on the power door lock switch.
3. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number
of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is set
for. (If you do not wish to change the current mode,
you can either exit the programming mode by
following the instructions earlier in this section or
program the next feature available on your vehicle.)
