Note: This feature is available only if you request your
retailer
to activate this option. After initial activation,
you can turn this feature
on and off by using the
following procedure.
This feature lets the driver delay the actual locking of
the vehicle. When the power door lock switch is
pressed, with the key removed from the ignition and the
driver's door open, a chime will sound three times to
signal that the lock delay mode is active. When all doors
have been closed, the doors will lock automatically after
five seconds. If any door is opened before this, the
five-second timer will reset itself once all the doors have
been closed again.
