vehicle speed becomes faster than 8 mph (13 km/h).

Your vehicle is programmed so that, when the shift
lever is moved into P (Park), both doors will unlock.
With the vehicle in P (Park) and the engine running,
door unlocking can be programmed through prompts
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
These prompts allow the driver to choose various
unlock settings. For programming information,
seeDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-72.
Lockout Protection
Your vehicle can be programmed to sound the horn
three times and unlock the driver door when both doors
are closed and there is a keyless access transmitter
inside the vehicle. When the driver door is opened,
a reminder chime will sound continuously. The vehicle
will remain locked only when at least one transmitter has
been removed from the vehicle and both doors are
closed. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-72.
