Automatic Door Locks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The system includes an automatic door locking feature actuated by the Body Control Module (BCM). The vehicle is built with the system enabled. The system can be enabled/disabled by the customer. Refer to the owner's manual for information.

The BCM will automatically lock all doors when all of the conditions below are met:

All doors are closed
The vehicle speed exceeds 15 +/- 1 M.P.H.
The throttle position sensor tip-in is greater than 10 +/- 2 degrees

When the system is disabled the door locks will work by use of the door lock switches only. When this system is enabled the automatic door locks will work automatically.

Auto unlock on exit is a feature which, when enabled, automatically unlocks all doors upon the ignition switch being turned off and the opening of the driver's door. Auto unlock on exit is only operable when the automatic door locks are enabled.
