The Programmable Automatic Power Door Locks will
be in operating Mode 3 when your vehicle is shipped
from the factory.
Disconnecting the vehicle battery for up to a year will
not change the programmed mode of the Programmable
Automatic Power Door Locks.
Delayed Locking
Delayed Locking allows the doors to be locked while
passengers are exiting the vehicle. This feature also
provides a brief time period after all the doors are
closed, but before the doors are locked, in which the
doors
may
be reopened. Delayed Locking is user
programmable for the enabling or disabling of
the function.
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 the lock
switch on the door or on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (see "Remote Keyless Entry" later 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:
1. Cancel the Delayed Locking by pressing the unlock
switch or by fully inserting the key in the ignition.
2. Override the Delayed Locking feature and lock the
doors immediately by pressing the lock switch a
second time.
3. Let the Delayed Locking function complete the
locking of the vehicle.
If you wish to let the Delayed Locking function
complete the locking of the vehicle, no additional action
is required. The Delayed Locking function 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.
