Last Door Closed Locking; Sliding Door Delayed Locking; Automatic Door Locks - Chevrolet VENTURE 2001 Manual

Last Door Closed Locking

The last door closed locking feature makes it easier to
use your power door locks to lock all the doors and the
liftgate when leaving your vehicle.
The first time you attempt to lock the doors using the
power lock switch or the optional remote keyless entry
transmitter, three chimes will signal that last door closed
locking is being used when any door or the liftgate is
open. All doors and the liftgate can be re
to five seconds from the time the last door is closed.
Five seconds after the last door is closed, all the doors
will lock. You can lock the doors immediately using the
power door lock switch or the optional remote keyless
entry transmitter a second time.
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're 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 the auto door locks operate, see
"Multifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choices" in
the Index.
- With the automatic door locks feature, you can lock or
opened for up
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 either sliding
door is closed, all the doors will lock.
