Delayed Locking

Delayed locking allows the doors to be locked while the
passengers are exiting the vehicle. This feature also
allows a brief time period for you to re-enter the vehicle
after the doors have been closed. Delayed locking is
user programmable for enabling or disabling the feature.

Delayed locking is activated when a door lock switch
is pressed while the key is not in the vehicle’s ignition,
and a door is open. The door lock switch may be
either the lock switch on the door or on the remote
keyless entry transmitter. See “Remote Keyless Entry
System Operation” earlier in this section for more
details. The doors do not lock when the lock switch is
pressed, but instead, three chimes are heard. These
chimes indicate that the delayed locking function
has been activated.

You have three actions possible once delayed locking is
activated:

Cancel the delayed locking by pressing the unlock
switch or by fully inserting the key in the ignition.

Override the delayed locking feature and lock the
doors immediately by pressing the lock switch a
second time.

Let the delayed locking feature complete the locking
of the vehicle.

If you wish to let the delayed locking feature complete
the locking of the vehicle, no additional action is
required. The delayed locking feature will lock the doors
automatically after all the doors have been closed for
a period of five seconds. During this five second period,
any door may be reopened, at which time the three
possible actions shown above are again available.

You may also customize your vehicle to activate the
delayed locking feature as described previously, or you
may choose to completely disable the feature at all
times. If disabled, the power door locks will activate
immediately when a power door lock switch is pressed.

The enabled/disabled state of the delayed locking
feature will be toggled when you perform the following
sequence:

1. Close the doors.

2. Move the ignition key to the RUN position.

3. Apply your regular brakes.

4. Press and hold the power door unlock switch. While

holding the door unlock switch, move the shift lever
out of and back into PARK (P).
