Automatic Door Lock (ADL) Delayed Lock

Body Control System Operation:

This function locks and unlocks the vehicle doors through a variety of different features. Manual door locking and unlocking alternates with the automatic door locking/unlocking providing 3 or 4 different modes of operation. Automatic locking occurs when the vehicle is shifted out of park (automatic transmission), or after the first key-on when the vehicle speed exceeds a given value (manual transmission). Automatic unlocking occurs when the ignition switch moves from the RUN to the OFF position. The modes of operation are programmable by the driver and are defined as follows:

The remote control doorlock receiver locking/unlocking is controlled by pushing the buttons on the Remote Control Doorlock Transmitter. This feature also flashes the parklamps and chirps the horn as feedback when the doors are actually locked.

If the vehicle is stopped, but not in PARK, the relocking feature relocks the vehicle doors after you manually unlock a door, open the door, and close the door. When the vehicle speed exceeds 3 km/h (5 mph), the vehicle doors are relocked.

The delayed locking feature allows a delayed lock of the vehicle after the driver leaves. This feature is started by pressing a lock switch with a door open and the key out of the ignition switch (a chime occurs as feedback). When all the doors are closed, the doors are locked after 7 seconds. If a door is opened during the 7-second delay, the delay time-out is reset after the door is closed. This allows the driver to start the feature, close the front door, open the back door (in order to remove a briefcase, for example), and close the back door. All of the doors automatically lock after 7 seconds.

You can override the delayed lock by pressing the door lock switch a second time. This feature also flashes the parklamps and chirps the horn as feedback when the doors are actually locked.

The anti-lockout feature prevents the driver from locking the keys in the car. If the keys are in the ignition switch and a door is open, pressing a door lock switch does not lock the doors. However, there are 3 ways to override this:
^ Keep the lock switch pressed for 3 seconds
^ Release the lock switch and press the switch again
^ Press the remote control door lock button on the Remote Control Doorlock Transmitter
