Anti Hijack door locking

Snowcone · 01-27-2011, 07:35 PM

I know you guys in the States need this feature, but is there any way to stop the damn thing from locking all the doors after you move off.

It is driving me batty every time I need to get something out of the back and I forget to unlock them and then have to go back to the front door and press the unlock button.

Seriously, hijacking is not very common in Australia and it is not an option or feature on most cars delivered here.

yes it can be turned off. and its just auto locks :P

if you have a message center its in there.

1. Select this function from the
SETUP control for the current
display mode.
2. Press the RESET control to turn
the autolocks ON or OFF.

if you do not have the reset/setup/info buttons or the message center instrument cluster do this

Deactivating/activating autolock
There are 3 methods to enable/disable this feature. One through your
dealer, the second with a power door unlock/lock sequence and the third
with the keypad.
Before following the activation or deactivation procedures, make sure
that the anti-theft system is not armed, ignition is off, and all vehicle
doors, liftgate and liftgate window are closed.

You must complete steps 1-5 within
30 seconds or the procedure will
have to be repeated. If the
procedure needs to be repeated,
you must wait 30 seconds.
1. Turn the ignition key to ON.
2. Press the power door unlock control three times.
3. Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF.
4. Press the power door unlock control three times.
5. Turn the ignition back to ON. The horn will chirp.
6. Press the unlock control, then press the lock control. The horn will
chirp once if autolock was deactivated or twice (one short and one long
chirp) if autolock was activated.
7. Turn the ignition to OFF. The horn will chirp once to confirm the
procedure is complete.
