Q: How do I use the delayed locking feature?

How do I use the delayed locking feature?

The delayed locking feature is present on some models of the vehicle. The feature occurs automatically whenever the door lock switch is pressed inside of the vehicle while a door is open. When all doors are closed, the vehicle will lock them automatically.

Tip

If you want to lock the doors immediately, hit the button a second time and the doors will all lock regardless of their position.
