Leaving Your Vehicle - Chevrolet 2002 Malibu Owner's Manual

The rear doors on your vehicle cannot be opened
from the inside when this feature is in use. If you
want to open a rear door while the security lock is on,
do the following:
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
If you do not cancel the security lock feature, adults or
older children who ride in the rear won't be able to open
the rear door from the inside. You should let adults and
older children know how these security locks work, and
how to cancel the locks.
To cancel a rear door lock, do the following:
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open it from
the outside.
2. Move the switch down.
3. Do the same to the other rear door.
The rear doors will now work normally.

Anti-Lockout Protection
-
Anti lockout protection is intended to provide enhanced
security and convenience. This feature prevents a driver
who has left the keys in the ignition from locking the
doors, by using the power door lock while any door
is open.
To override this feature, when the key is in the ignition
and any door is open, press down and hold the power
door lock switch for three seconds.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of your vehicle. If you don't leave the keys
in the ignition, or if you use the manual door lock or
the remote keyless entry transmitter, you could still lock
your keys inside your vehicle. Always remember to take
your keys with you.

Leaving Your Vehicle

If you are leaving your vehicle, open your door and
set the locks from the inside, then get out and close
the door.
