Delayed Locking

The delayed locking feature will activate when a valid lock command is received from a transmitter while any door or trunk (hatch) remains open. The BCM will delay locking the vehicle until all doors and deck lid (hatch) are closed. The lock command will execute with in 500 mS. after all doors and/or decklid transition to closed. If during the delayed state a transmitter unlock command, door unlock switch input or the ignition switch changes state to other than off the delayed locking command will cancel.

When the delayed locking feature is active in the delayed state the Body Control Module (BCM) will activate a chime at the rate of 50 chime per minute for a duration of 3 chime cycles. If the condition or state changes the chime will continue until completion of the chime schedule.

This feature is available on all Saturn L-Series vehicles with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE).
