Automatic Power Door Locks
Programmable Automatic Power Door Locks is a
standard feature that is intended to provide enhanced
security and convenience by automatically locking and
unlocking doors. This feature provides four operating
modes. For your vehicle, you may select and program
one of the following four operating modes:
Mode 1: No automatic door lock or unlock.
Mode 2: Automatic all-door lock when the transmission
is shifted out of PARK (P).
No automatic door unlock.
Automatic door relock when any door is unlocked,
opened and then all doors are again closed while the
vehicle is not in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and the
driver's foot is on the brake pedal.
Mode 3: Automatic all-door lock when the transmission
is
shifted out of PARK (P).
Automatic all-door unlock when the transmission is
shifted into PARK (P).
Automatic door relock when any door is unlocked,
opened and then all doors are again closed while the
vehicle is not in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and the
driver's foot is on the brake pedal.
Mode 4: Automatic all-door lock when the transmission
is shifted out of PARK (P).
Automatic driver's door only unlock when the
transmission is shifted into PARK (P).
Automatic door relock when any door is unlocked,
opened and then all doors are again closed while the
vehicle is not in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and the

The operating mode of the Programmable Automatic
Power Door Locks will be changed when the driver
performs the following sequence with the doors closed
and the ignition key in the RUN position:
Press and hold the power door lock switch. While
holding the door lock switch, cycle the transmission out
of and back into PARK (P). After an initial transmission
cycle, each additional cycle will advance the operating
mode by one, starting from the current operating mode.
During this procedure, the Automatic Door Lock and
Unlock functions will operate as defined by each mode
above, providing the driver with feedback of the current
operating mode. If cycled beyond Mode 4, the vehicle
will enter operating Mode 1. When the door lock switch
is released, the vehicle will remain in the most recent
operating mode.
