delayed until all doors have been closed for
approximately ve seconds.
To activate the delayed locking feature, do one of the
following:

while the driver’s door is open.

Two chimes will sound to signal that delayed locking is
active.
The doors may be locked immediately by repeating any
of the above actions more than one time.
If a door remains open, without any other door being
opened or closed, the vehicle will lock after
approximately 45 seconds.
If the key is in the ignition, this feature will not lock the
doors.
To turn the delayed locking feature off or on, seeDIC
Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-73.
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 delayed locking
feature will be used to lock the sliding door after it has
been closed.
The sliding door delayed locking feature will lock your
sliding door(s) in situations where the delayed
locking feature does not apply or was overridden or
programmed to be off. See “Delayed Locking” earlier in
this section. Shortly after the last sliding door is
closed, all the doors will lock.

Automatic Door Lock
All of the doors will lock automatically when you move
the shift lever out of PARK (P). This feature cannot
be disabled.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle while it is not
in PARK (P), shift into PARK (P), or, have that person
use the manual lever or the power door lock switch.
When the door is closed again, it will lock when
the vehicle exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
With automatic door locks, you can lock or unlock the
doors at any time, either manually or by using the power
door lock switches.
Programmable Automatic Door
Unlock
Your vehicle was programmed so that all doors will
unlock automatically when the shift lever is moved into
PARK (P).
To change the way the automatic door unlocking
operates, seeDIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel
Only) on page 3-73.
Lockout Protection
The lockout protection feature makes it more difficult to
lock the key in the vehicle. If the driver’s door is
open while the key is in the ignition, the door cannot be
locked with the power door lock switch.
This feature cannot guarantee that you will never be
locked out of the vehicle. If the key is not left in
the ignition, or, if the manual door lock is used, the key
could still be locked inside the vehicle. Always
remember to take the key with you.
Dual Sliding Doors
To open either sliding door from outside the vehicle, pull
the handle out and then pull the door toward the rear.
If you slide the door all the way back, the door will rest in
a detent position.
To move the door forward, you must rst pull the door
past the open detent position.
The driver’s side sliding door is designed to open only a
little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens, do
not try to force the sliding door. Just close the driver’s
side sliding door. Then when the fuel ller door is
closed, the driver’s side sliding door can be opened
normally.

may need to be reset. If your vehicle has the dual
power sliding doors, both doors will have to be reset. To
reset a door, do the following:
1. Check to be sure the power sliding door is unlocked
and securely closed.
2. Turn the ignition to LOCK.

in the override (deactivation) position, return to the

press the overhead console switch to the override
(deactivation) position and slide the door fully open and
closed. Check for foreign objects in the tracks. Repeat
the procedure starting with Step 1. If the door resists

Open the liftgate using the handle located above the
license plate. Once slightly opened, the liftgate will rise
by itself. Lamps in the rear of the vehicle will come
on, illuminating the rear cargo area.
