yellowblue Delayed Locking This Personal Choice feature lets the driver delay the actual locking of the vehicle. When the power door lock switch is pressed with the key removed from the ignition and the driver's door open, a chime will sound three times to signal that the lock delay mode is active. When both doors have been closed, the doors will lock automatically after five seconds. If either door is opened before this, the five-second timer will reset itself once both doors have been closed again. Pressing the door lock switch twice within two seconds will override this feature. Personal Choice Programming The delayed locking feature can be turned on or off for each driver's remote keyless entry transmitter. To turn the feature on: 1. Press and hold LOCK on the driver's power door lock switch throughout this procedure. Both doors will lock. 2. Press the UNLOCK button on the transmitter to enter the programming mode. The lock delay is still off and both doors will remain locked. 3. Press the UNLOCK button on the transmitter again. Lock delay is now active and both doors will unlock. 4. Release the power door lock switch. To turn this feature off, repeat this procedure. This procedure changes the mode for only the transmitter used to change this setting. The procedure will need to be repeated for the second transmitter. Lockout Protection The power door locks will not work if the key is left in the ignition with the driver's door open. You can override this feature by holding the power door lock switch for more than three seconds, unless the engine is running. Leaving Your Vehicle If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your door and set the locks from the inside. Then get out and close the door. If your vehicle has a theft-deterrent system, see "Universal Theft-Deterrent" in the Index. 2-7
