NOTE: The autolock feature is not available on vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle.
NOTE: The autolock feature can be activated or deactivated independently of the auto-unlock feature.
NOTE: The autolock feature of the smart junction box (SJB) can also be configured ON or OFF with the diagnostic tool. For additional information on module configuration, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .
NOTE: Make sure that the vehicle's perimeter alarm is not armed, the key is in the OFF position and the doors are closed.
NOTE: When programming the autolock feature using the door lock control switch method the following steps must be carried out within 30 seconds or the procedure will need to be repeated. If the procedure needs to be repeated, wait 30 seconds between programming sessions.
