Buick 2006 manual Sliding Door Delayed Locking

Delayed Locking

This feature allows the locking of the vehicle to be delayed until all doors have been closed for approximately five seconds.

To activate the delayed locking feature, do one of the following:

•Press the driver’s door power lock switch one time while the driver’s door is open.

•Press the passenger’s door power lock switch one time while the passenger’s door is open.

•Press the lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter one time while any door is open.

Two chimes will sound to signal that delayed locking is active.

The doors may be locked immediately by repeating any of the above actions more than one time.

If a door remains open, without any other door being opened or closed, the vehicle will lock after approximately 45 seconds.

If the key is in the ignition, this feature will not lock the doors.

To turn the delayed locking feature off or on, see DIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-72.

Sliding Door Delayed Locking

If either sliding door is open when you use the power door locks to lock the vehicle, the sliding door that is open will not lock. Normally the delayed locking feature will be used to lock the sliding door after it has been closed.

The sliding door delayed locking feature will lock your sliding door(s) in situations where the delayed locking feature does not apply or was overridden or programmed to be off. See “Delayed Locking” earlier in this section. Shortly after the last sliding door is closed, all the doors will lock.
