On my brand new 2012 1LT Equinox, I have checked "Delayed Door Lock" feature in the Power Door Locks section of the configuration menu. However, the doors do not automatically lock after I turn off and exit the vehicle and shut the doors. Is there a quick explanation for this anomaly, or should I just ask the dealer?

 

jhboone,
Congratulations on your new Equinox!
As far as the delayed locking: are you pressing the lock button on your key fob or on the inside controls? We just want to make sure we're understanding the situation correctly!

Thanks,

I had assumed the delayed locking feature worked like my G6 - shut the vehicle off, exit and shut the doors and the doors lock in 5-10 seconds. My SRX also works that way. Now I know that I have to press the inside door controls to activate the delay feature - its not fully automatic.

Thanks - John
