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 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-opened for up 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 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. 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 automatic door locks operate, see "Multifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choices" in the Index. With the automatic door locks feature, you can lock or 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 a sliding door is closed, all the doors will lock. 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). 2-9
