This feature allows you to delay the locking of your doors.

Programmable Modes

Mode 1: Off (Doors will always lock immediately when you lock the doors using the power door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter.)

Mode 2: Delayed Locking (If the power door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to lock the vehicle while any door is open, you will hear three chimes. The doors will not lock. Five seconds after the last door is closed, all doors will lock.)

Your vehicle was originally programmed to Mode 2. The mode may have been changed since then. To determine the current mode, or to change the mode, do the following:

  1. Follow the instructions for Entering Programming Mode .
  2. Press the back of the power door lock switch.
  3. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number of chimes indicates the vehicle's current programmed mode. If you do not wish to change the current mode, you can either exit the programming mode by following the instructions later in this section or program the next feature available on your vehicle.
  4. Press the back of the power door lock switch to change the current mode.
  5. Press the back of the power door lock switch until you hear the number of chimes corresponding to the mode selection you want.

The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit the programming mode by following the instructions later in this section or program the next feature available on your vehicle.
