Auto Door Locks (ADL)

Pontiac Bonnevilles ADL feature is different than the Buick and Oldsmobiles. The Bonneville will "LOCK" the doors when the shifter is moved out of "PARK" and "UNLOCK" the doors only when the ignition key is moved to the "OFF" position. Moving the shifter back into "PARK" will not "UNLOCK" the doors.
^ ADL Mode 0- No automatic door lock or unlock.
^ ADL Mode 1 - Automatic all doors lock when transmission is shifted out of Park. But no automatic door unlock.
^ ADL Mode 2 - Automatic all doors lock when transmission is shifted out of Park. Automatic driver door unlock when key is turned to the off position.
^ ADL Mode 3 - Automatic all doors lock when transmission is shifted out of Park. Automatic all door unlock when key is turned to the off position.

With the ignition "ON", vehicle in "PARK" and all doors closed, press and hold the door lock switch in the "LOCK" position. While holding the door lock switch, press the "LOCK" button on the customer's transmitter. After initial activation of the transmitter "LOCK" button, each additional activation will increment the ADL mode by one, starting from the current ADL mode. If cycled beyond ADL Mode 3, the RFA shall enter Mode 0. During this customization procedure, the automatic door lock and unlock shall operate as defined, providing the customer with feedback of the current ADL mode. When the door lock switch is released, the RFA shall remain in the most current ADL mode. Since Mode 0 has no ADL functions, no feedback is provided.

While in the customization procedure, if ignition voltage is lost or any door is opened, the ADL procedure will be terminated and the RFA system shall remain in the most current mode.
