Door Ajar Reminder A chime will sound and the DOOR AJAR message will display if one of the doors is not fully closed. This happens when the ignition is on and the shift lever is moved out of P (Park) or N (Neutral). See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-46. Programmable Automatic Door Locks The vehicle is programmed to lock all doors automatically when the following are met: Delayed Locking This feature will delay the actual locking of the doors and arming of the theft-deterrent system for 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. To cancel the delay and lock the doors immediately, press the lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter or the power door lock switch a second time. The theft deterrent system will arm after 30 seconds. • All doors are closed. • The ignition is on. • The vehicle is shifted out of (P) Park. This feature cannot be disabled. All doors will unlock when the vehicle is shifted into (P) Park. The power door unlock function can be programmed through prompts displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
