Automatic Door Lock; Programmable Automatic Door Unlock; Lockout Protection; Dual Sliding Doors - Pontiac Montana SV6 2008 Owner's Manual

Automatic Door Lock

All of the doors will lock automatically when you move
the shift lever out of PARK (P). This feature cannot
be disabled.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle while it is not
in PARK (P), shift into PARK (P), or, have that person
use the manual lever or the power door lock switch.
When the door is closed again, it will lock when
the vehicle exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
With automatic door locks, you can lock or unlock the
doors at any time, either manually or by using the power
door lock switches.
Programmable Automatic
Door Unlock
Your vehicle was programmed so that all doors will
unlock automatically when the shift lever is moved
into PARK (P).
To change the way the automatic door unlocking
operates, see DIC Vehicle Personalization
(Uplevel Only) on page 3-70.

Lockout Protection

The lockout protection feature makes it more difficult
to lock the key in the vehicle. If the driver's door is
open while the key is in the ignition, the door cannot
be locked with the power door lock switch.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never
be locked out of the vehicle. If the key is not left in
the ignition, or, if the manual door lock is used,
the key could still be locked inside the vehicle.
Always remember to take the key with you.

Dual Sliding Doors

To open either sliding door from outside the vehicle,
pull the handle out and then pull the door toward
the rear. If you slide the door all the way back,
the door will rest in a detent position.
To move the door forward, you must first pull the door
past the open detent position.
The driver's side sliding door is designed to open only
a little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens,
do not try to force the sliding door. Just close the
driver's side sliding door. Then when the fuel filler
door is closed, the driver's side sliding door can be
opened normally.
