Delayed Locking feature

This personalization feature permits the delay of all door locking until 5 seconds after the last door is closed. This feature is controlled by the RIM which operates based on data received over the Class 2 serial data circuits.

1. When the lock function is requested (either by the remote function actuator (RFA) or the DDM) while a door is open, the RIM commands the radio (over the Class 2 serial data circuits) to sound the chime 3 times to signal that the delayed locking is active.
2. When the DDM receives the message that all doors are closed from the rest of the door modules and sees that the driver door is also closed, it sends a Class 2 message to the RIM.
3. The RIM waits for 5 seconds, then sends the Class 2 message to the DDM to lock doors. The DDM sends the power door serial data message to lock the doors to the rest of the door modules.

If a door is opened during the 5 second delay period, the RIM resets the timer and waits until it again receives the doors closed message from the DDM to restart the delay period.

Pressing a power lock switch on a door or on the remote transmitter for the RFA causes the RIM to override this feature and lock all doors immediately.
