Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Autolock

All doors will automatically lock each time the vehicle is driven after all the following steps are completed.
(1) Ignition switch is in RUN/ACC and the autolock feature is enabled.
(2) The reverse lamp switch is activated (passing either into or out of REVERSE).
(3) All doors and the luggage compartment/liftgate are closed when the driver releases the brake.

NOTE: The door ajar state is monitored continuously for 500 ms after an autolock has occurred. If a door is opened again within this time, the driver door will unlock. This feature also applies to a relock.

After this initial lock, all doors will automatically relock when any door is opened and then closed followed by the driver releasing the brake pedal. However, the doors will not relock if the ignition switch is OFF.


The door may not automatically lock if the driver:
^ shifts the transmission into gear without pressing the brake pedal.
^ shifts the transmission quickly into gear after starting the engine.
^ releases the brake pedal and presses the accelerator pedal before a door is closed.
