Delayed Locking

Delayed locking allows the doors to be locked while passengers are exiting the vehicle. This feature also provides a brief time period after all the doors are closed, but before the doors are locked, in which the doors may be reopened. Delayed locking is user programmable for the enabling or disabling of the function.

Delayed Locking is activated when a door lock switch is pressed while the key is not in the vehicle's ignition, and a door is open. The door lock switch may be the lock switch on the door or on the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter. The doors do not lock when the lock switch is pressed, but instead, three chimes are heard. These chimes indicate that the Delayed Locking function has been activated.

There are three actions possible once Delayed Locking is activated:
1. Cancel the Delayed Locking by pressing the Unlock switch or by fully inserting the key in the ignition.
2. Override the Delayed Locking feature and lock the doors immediately by pressing the lock switch a second time.
3. Let the Delayed Locking function complete the locking of the vehicle.

No additional action is required if letting the Delayed Locking feature complete the locking of the vehicle. The Delayed Locking function will lock the doors automatically after all the doors have been closed for a period of 5 seconds. During this 5 second period, any door may be reopened, a which time the three possible actions shown above are again available.

You may also customize the vehicle to activate the Delayed Locking function as described above, or you may choose to completely disable the function at all times. If disabled, the power door locks will activate immediately when a power door lock is pressed.

There are two ways to customize this feature: Using a Tech 2 scan tool, or by following a specific sequence with the power door lock switch.

Tech 2 Scan Tool Method
1. With the scan tool hooked up to the Data Link Connector (DLC) the first menu on the scan tool will be the MAIN MENU.
2. Select the PERSONALIZATION MODULE feature. This will take the scan tool to the PERSONALIZATION MAIN MENU.
3. Select the SET OPTIONS feature. This will take the scan tool to the SET OPTIONS MAIN MENU.
4. Select the LAST DOOR CLOSED LOCKING MODE feature. This will allow the vehicle to be programmed.

Power Door Lock Switch Method
The enabled/disabled state of the Delayed Locking function will be toggled when you perform the following sequence:
1. Close all doors.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
3. Press and hold the power door lock unlock switch.
4. While holding the door unlock switch, cycle the transmission Out of and back into Park (P).
5. After an initial transmission cycle, each additional cycle will toggle the enable/disable state of the Delayed Locking function.

During this procedure, the chime will sound, providing you with feedback. A single chime will be heard if the Delayed Locking function is disabled and two chimes will be heard if the function is enabled. When the door unlock switch is released, the vehicle shall remain in the most recent operating mode.

The Delayed Locking function will be enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory.

Disconnecting the vehicle's battery for up to a year will not change the programmed mode of the Delayed Locking feature.
