Acura 2001 TL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 83)

If you forget and leave the key in the
ignition switch, Lockout Prevention
will not allow you to lock the driver’s
door. With the driver’s door open
and the key in the ignition, both
master door lock switches are
disabled. However, if the driver’s
door is not open, the master door
lock switches are not disabled.
Pushing the switch down on the
open passenger’s door will lock all
doors. If you try to lock an open
driver’s door by pushing in the lock
tab, the tabs on all doors pop out.
Pushing in the lock tab on the
passenger’s door only locks that door.
Each door has a lock tab at the top of
the door. When you push down the
lock tab on the driver’s door, all
doors lock. Pulling up the lock tab on
the driver’s door only unlocks that
door. The lock tab on each
passenger’s door only locks and
unlocks that door. To lock any passenger’s door when
getting out of the car, push the lock
tab down and close the door. To lock
the driver’s door, remove the key
from the ignition switch and push
the lock tab down or push the master
switch down, then close the door.
All doors can be locked from the
outside by using the key in either
front door. To unlock only the driver’s
door from the outside, insert the key
in the driver’s door lock, turn the key
and release it. If you turn the key
and hold it, all doors will unlock. All
four doors will unlock when you
unlock the passenger’s door with the
key.
