Programmable Automatic Door Locks - Chevrolet 2003 Malibu Owner's Manual

Programmable Automatic
Door Locks
With this feature, when you close all the doors, turn on
the ignition and shift out of PARK (P), all of the doors
will lock. If someone needs to get out while the vehicle is
running, have that person use either the manual lock
lever or the power door lock switch. When the door
is closed again,
it
will lock automatically when the
vehicle reaches about 5 mph (8 km/h). All doors will
automatically unlock when the shift lever is moved
to PARK (P) and the key is turned to OFF.
Customizing the Automatic Door Locks
One of four operating modes may be selected and
programmed by the driver:
Mode 1: All doors automatically lock when the transaxle
is shifted out of PARK (P). The doors will remain
locked unless manually unlocked or the lock button is
pressed. All doors will unlock when the transaxle is
shifted into PARK (P) and the key is turned to OFF.
Mode 2: This mode is only available with the
remote keyless entry system (if equipped). All doors
automatically lock when the transaxle is shifted out of
PARK (P). Automatic driver's door only unlock when
the transaxle is shifted into PARK (P) and the key
is turned to OFF.
Mode
3:
All doors automatically lock when the transaxle
is shifted out of PARK (P). No automatic door unlock.
Mode 4: No automatic door lock or unlock.
Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory it was
programmed in Mode 1. To determine the current
mode of the vehicle or
to
change to a different mode,
do the following:
1. Ensure the shift lever is in PARK (P) and all doors
are fully closed throughout this procedure. Turn the
ignition to ON.
2. Press and hold LOCK on either power door lock
switch for 10 seconds. Release the switch when
you hear the chime.
3. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number
of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is in.
You can change the mode by pressing and
holding LOCK on the power door lock switch
(two chimes for Mode 2, three chimes for Mode 3
and four chimes for Mode 4).
4, Repeat Step 2 until you hear the number of chimes
that matches the mode you want.
The mode you selected is now set.
