2003 Buick Regal Owner's Manual - Page 78

Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was programmed to Mode 3. The mode in which your vehicle was programmed may have been changed since it left the factory. To determine which programmable mode your vehicle is programmed to or to program your vehicie to a different mode, do the following: 1. Turn the ignition key to RUN. 2. Close all of the doors. Lockout Protection This feature helps to prevent a driver from locking the keys inside of the vehicle by disabling the power door locks when the following occurs: A door is opened, * the key is left in the ignition, and a power door lock is pressed. You may override the lockout protection feature by holding the power door lock switch in the lock position for more than three seconds while the key is in the ignition and any door is open. Remember, this feature can't guarantee that you'll never be locked out of your vehicle. If you use the manual door lock or if you leave the key in your vehicle, but not in the ignition you could still be locked out of your vehicle. Always remember to take your keys with you. 3. Apply your brakes. 4. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the lock position. While holding the door lock switch in the lock position, move the shift lever out of and back into PARK (P). After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle will advance the operating mode by one, starting from the current operating mode. During this procedure, the automatic door lock and unlock functions will operate as defined by each mode listed previously, providing the driver with feedback of the current operating mode. If cycled beyond Mode 4, the vehicle will enter operating Mode 1. When the door lock switch is released, the vehicle will remain in the most recent operating mode. Disconnecting the vehicle's battery for up to a year will not change the last programmed mode the of programmable automatic power door locks. Leaving Your Vehicle If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and close the door. See "Delayed Locking" in this section for more information. 2-1 1
