Getting to Know Your Grand Am

Programmable Automatic Power

Door Locks

Grand Am’s Power Door Locks can be

programmed 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

automatically 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 (Remote

Keyless Entry only).

MODE 3: All doors automatically lock

when shifted out of Park. Doors do not

unlock when shifted into Park and the

ignition 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: Mode 1; Mode 2 and

Mode 3 (if equipped with Remote

Keyless Entry); Mode 4. Functions

will operate as defined previously in

each mode.
