Programmable automatic power door locks are intended to provide enhanced security and convenience by automatically locking and unlocking doors. This feature lets you program your power door locks to one of four different modes.

Customizing the Automatic Door Locks for Automatic Transaxle Vehicles

Mode 1: All doors automatically lock when the transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P). The doors will remain locked unless manually unlocked or the lock button is pressed. All doors will unlock when the transaxle is shifted into PARK (P) and the key is turned to OFF.

Mode 2: This mode is only available on vehicles equipped with a remote keyless entry transmitter. All doors automatically lock when the transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P). Automatic driver's door only unlocks when the transaxle is shifted into PARK (P) and the key is turned to OFF.

Mode 3: All doors automatically lock when the transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P). No automatic door unlock.

Mode 4: No automatic door lock or unlock.

Customizing the Automatic Door Locks for Manual Transaxle Vehicles

Mode 1: All doors automatically lock when the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). The doors will remain locked unless manually unlocked or the lock button is pressed. All doors will unlock when the transaxle is shifted into REVERSE (R) and the key is turned to OFF.

Mode 2: This mode is only available with the remote keyless entry transmitter. All doors automatically lock when the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). Automatic driver's door only unlock when the transaxle is shifted into REVERSE (R) and the key is turned to OFF.

Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory it was programmed in Mode 1. To determine the current mode or to change to a different mode, do the following:

1. Put an automatic transaxle in PARK (P) or a manual transaxle in REVERSE (R) with the parking brake engaged and turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press and hold the lower part of the power door lock switch for 10 seconds. Release the switch when you hear the chime.
3. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is in. You can change the mode by pressing and holding the lower part of the power door lock switch (two chimes for Mode 2, three chimes for Mode 3 and four chimes for Mode 4).
4. Repeat Step 2 until you hear the number of chimes that matches the mode you want.

The mode you selected is now set.
