front doors.

K

Delayed Locking

With this feature, you can delay the actual locking of
the doors.

When the power door lock switch is pressed when the
key is not in the ignition and the driver’s door is opened,
a chime will sound three times indicating that delayed
locking is active.

When all the doors are closed, the doors will lock
automatically after five seconds. If a door is reopened
before five seconds have elapsed, the five second timer
will reset itself once all the doors are closed again.

You can press the door lock switch again or the lock
button on the RKE transmitter to override this feature
and lock the doors immediately.

You can turn this feature off using the Driver Information
Center (DIC). When delayed locking is off, the doors
will lock immediately when you press the power

door lock switch or the lock button on the RKE
transmitter. See DIC Vehicle Customization on
page 3-68
for more information.

Programmable Automatic Door
Locks

If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the
vehicle is programmed so that the doors will lock
automatically when all doors are closed, the ignition is
on, and the shift lever is moved out of PARK (P).
The doors will automatically unlock when you stop the
vehicle and move the shift lever back into PARK (P).

If your vehicle has a manual transmission, the vehicle is
programmed so that the doors will lock automatically
after the vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km). The doors
will automatically unlock when the ignition is turned
off and the key is removed from the ignition.

If someone needs to exit the vehicle once the doors are
locked, have that person use the manual lever or
power door lock switch. When the door is closed again,
it will not lock automatically. Use the manual lever or
the power door lock switch to lock the door.

The power door locks can be programmed through
prompts displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). These prompts allow you to choose
various lock and unlock settings. For more information
on programming, see DIC Vehicle Customization on
page 3-68
