Delayed Locking
If your vehicle has power door locks, it will have the
delayed locking feature. This feature delays the actual
locking of the doors when the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter is used to lock the vehicle.
If any door is open when locking the vehicle using the
RKE transmitter, three chimes will sound signaling
that the delayed locking feature is active. Five seconds
after the last door is closed, both doors will lock and
the parking lamps will flash. To cancel the delay
and lock the doors immediately, press the lock button
on the RKE a second time.
If the key is in the ignition, this feature will not lock
the doors.
Automatic Door Lock
The vehicle’s doors are programmed to lock when the
shift lever is moved into a forward gear.
If someone needs to get in or out of the vehicle after
the doors have been locked, place the shift lever
into PARK (P). You may also unlock all doors using the
power door lock switch or unlock one door using the
inside manual door lock.
The automatic door lock feature cannot be disabled.
Programmable Automatic Door
Unlock
The vehicle’s doors are programmed from the factory to
unlock when the shift lever is moved into PARK (P).
On vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC),
there are different programming options for unlocking the
doors automatically. See DIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 3-45.
