Last Door Closed Locking; Sliding Door Delayed Locking; Automatic Door Locks - Pontiac 2002 Montana Owner's Manual

Last Door Closed Locking

The last door closed locking feature will delay the
power locking of the doors and liftgate for up to five
seconds after exiting the vehicle, when the power door
lock switch or the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter is used to lock your vehicle.
To cancel this delay, press the power door lock switch or
the lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter a
second time immediately.
If any door or the liftgate is open when locking the
vehicle, three chimes will be heard signaling that last
door closed locking is being used. Five seconds after
the last door is closed, all of the doors will lock.
If the ignition is in RUN or ACCESSORY, this feature
will not lock the doors.
To turn the last door closed locking feature off or on, see
"Multifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choices" in
the Index.

Automatic Door Locks

All of the doors will lock automatically when you move
your shift lever out of PARK (P). All doors will unlock
automatically when the ignition is turned off while the
shift lever is in PARK (P).
If someone needs to get out while you are not in
PARK (P), have that person use the manual lever or
the power door lock switch. When the door is closed
again, it will not lock automatically. Use the manual
lever or the power door lock switch to lock the door.
To change the way automatic door locks operate, see
"Multifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choices"
in the Index.
With the automatic door locks feature, you can lock or
unlock the doors at any time, either manually or using
the power door lock switches.

Sliding Door Delayed Locking

If either sliding door is open when you use the power
door locks to lock the vehicle, the sliding door that
is open will not lock. Normally the last door closed
locking feature will be used to lock the sliding door
after it has been closed.
When the ignition is on or if the last door closed locking
feature has been overridden or programmed to be off,
the sliding door delayed locking feature will lock your
sliding door for you. Three seconds after a sliding door
is closed, all the doors will lock.
