Programmable Automatic Door Locks (If Equipped)

If the vehicle has power door locks, it is equipped with a feature that enables you to program the power door locks.

The vehicle left the factory programmed to automatically lock all doors when the vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P), and all doors unlock when the vehicle is shifted into PARK (P).

If the vehicle has a manual transmission it left the factory programmed to lock all doors when the vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h (15 mph) for two seconds, and unlock all doors once the key is removed from the ignition.

If this occurs, repeat the procedure beginning with step 1. You can exit the program mode any time by turning the ignition to RUN.
