Delayed Locking
This feature allows the driver to delay the locking of the
vehicle. It will not operate with the key in the ignition.
See Lockout Protection on page 2-14.
Press the driver’s power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter lock button once.
With the key removed from the ignition and the
driver’s door open, the following will occur:
•
Three chimes will sound to signal the delay.
•
All doors will lock and the turn signals will flash once
five seconds after the last door has been closed.
•
The horn will chirp if the horn chirp feature is
enabled. See DIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 3-52.
If a door is opened before the five seconds has
elapsed, the doors will not lock until five seconds
after all doors are closed.
If the power door lock switch or the transmitter lock
button is pressed twice when leaving the vehicle, the
doors will lock immediately.
If the power door unlock switch or the transmitter unlock
button is pressed, the doors will unlock immediately
and not lock automatically after the doors are closed.
This feature is turned on at the factory but may be
turned off through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Programmable Automatic
Door Locks
Your vehicle is programmed at the factory to lock all
doors automatically when the following are met:
•
all doors are closed
•
the ignition is on
•
the shift lever is moved out of PARK (P).
This feature cannot be disabled.
When the shift lever is moved back to PARK (P),
all doors will unlock.
If someone needs to exit the vehicle once the doors
are locked, have that person use the manual lock knob
or power door unlock switch.
The power door lock and unlock functions can be
programmed through prompts displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). These prompts allow you
to choose various lock and unlock settings. See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-52.
