Programmable Automatic Power
Door Locks
Alero’s Power Door Locks can be pro-
grammed to fit your needs. First, close
all the doors and make sure the ignition
is in the ON position and your foot is on
the brake pedal. When you move the
gearshift out of Park, all the doors will
automatically lock. When the gearshift is
returned to Park and the ignition is
turned to OFF, all doors will automatical-
ly UNLOCK.
If someone needs to get in or out while
you’re in Park, use the manual or Power
Door Lock switch. When a door has
been opened and closed again, it will
lock automatically when the car has
reached 5 mph. Programmable
Automatic Power Door Locks can be set
to any of the following modes:
Mode 1
(Factory Setting): All doors
automatically lock when shifted out of
Park. All doors automatically unlock
when shifted into Park and the ignition is
turned to OFF.
Mode 2:
All doors automatically lock
when shifted out of Park. Driver door
only unlocks when shifted into Park and
the ignition is turned to OFF.
Mode 3:
All doors automatically lock
when shifted out of Park. Doors do not
lock when shifted into Park and the igni-
tion is turned to OFF (Remote Keyless
Entry only).
Mode 4:
The doors do not lock or
unlock automatically.
How to Program Automatic Power
Door Locks
To change modes (settings), simply:
1. Close the doors and turn the ignition
to the ON position. Keep all doors
closed throughout this procedure.
2. Press and hold down either Power
Door Lock switch in the LOCK posi-
tion for 10 seconds.
3. When the chime sounds, you can
release the switch. The Program-
mable Door Lock feature has been
advanced to the next setting and will
remain in this mode unless changed
again. The number of chime sounds
indicates which mode you are in (for
example, three chimes sound for
Mode 3).
The modes occur in the following order:
1. Factory Setting; 2. If equipped with
Remote Keyless Entry; 3 and 4.
Functions will operate as defined above
in each mode.
