Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Lock All Doors - Passive
Exit the vehicle (with ignition off) with the keyless entry transmitter to automatically perform the following functions, if equipped.
- Lock all vehicle doors after a delay
- Flash the exterior lights, if enabled through personalization
- Chirp horn, if enabled through personalization
- Arm the CTD system
When all doors are closed, they can also be locked from the exterior by pressing a front door handle button while having a valid transmitter within range.
If more than one keyless entry transmitter is within a vehicle and the Keyless Entry System detects that one or more transmitters have been left in the vehicle after vehicle is locked, any transmitter left within the vehicle will be temporarily deactivated until:
- A button on the deactivated key fob is pressed (will only activate the fob whose button is pressed)
- A passive unlock of vehicle occurs
- Change in power mode occurs
