Delayed Locking

If your vehicle has power locks, it will have the
delayed locking feature.
This feature will delay the actual locking of the doors
for up to five seconds when the power door lock
switch or remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
lock the vehicle.
If any door is open when locking the vehicle, three
chimes will sound signaling that the delayed locking
feature is active. Five seconds after the last door
is closed, all of the doors will lock and the turn signal
lamps will flash. To cancel the delay and lock the doors
immediately, press the lock button a second time.
This feature will not lock the doors if the key is in
the ignition.
You can disable this function through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-48.

automatically lock when the shift lever is moved out of

The automatic door locking feature cannot be disabled.
