Last Door Closed Locking
The Last Door Closed Locking makes it more
convenient €or you to use your power door lo'cks to lock
all doors when leaving your vehicle. When any door is
open, the first time you attempt to lock the doors using
the power door lock switch or key chain transmitter will
result in three chimes to signal that Last Door Closed
Locking is
being used. All doors can be opened for any
reason for five seconds from the time the last door has
been closed. Five seconds after the last door is closed,
all doors will lock. You can lock the doors immediately
by using the
power
door lock switch
or
the key
chain
transmitter to lock again.
The Last Door Closed Locking feature will not
occur and d'oors will not be locked as a result of this
feature when the ignition switch is in the RUN or
ACCESSORY position. The Last Door Closed Locking
feature is not enabled from the factory.
Automatic Door Locks

Unlocked doors can
be dangerous.
Passengers
--
especially children
--
can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when
you slow down or stop your vehicle.

may
not be so obvious: You increase the

crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
