Door Lock Inhibit
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
With the key in the ignition switch and the driver door open, the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) will ignore the command to lock the power door locks using the interior door lock switches. Once the key is removed or the drivers door is closed, the RKE module will allow the power locks to lock using the door lock switch.
