AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FUNCTIONS

Component
GENERAL INFORMATION

Models
'05 Avalon

2005 model year Avalon vehicles equipped with automatic transmission and power door locks feature Automatic Door Locking (ADL) and Automatic Door Unlocking (ADU) functions. The door locks can be set to lock and unlock linked with the shift position. Details on the automatic door lock and unlock functions can be found in the Owner's Manual.

To standardize the ADL and ADU functions across all model lines, the default settings from the factory should be confirmed during the Pre-Delivery Service (PDS). The factory default setting automatically locks all doors when the shift lever is moved out of the "P" position.
