Lockout Protection for Chevrolet Impala 2003

To protect you from locking your key in the vehicle, this feature stops the power door locks from locking while the key is in the ignition and a door is open.

If a power lock switch is pressed while a door is open and the key is in the ignition, all of the doors will lock and then the driver's door will unlock. A chime will sound continuously until all doors are closed.
