Copied the following from the service manual. I hope it helps.

From the service manual:
Automatic Relocking Function
To avoid unlocking the vehicle unintentionally, the vehicle is automatically relocked by the Central Locking Pump/
Security System Module via the SKREEM. Automatic Relocking takes place after the vehicle has been unlocked
with either the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter or the driver’s door lock cylinder. The vehicle will be relocked if the
SKREEM module doesn’t receive a message within 40 seconds from any of the following:
² An open door signal.
² The key in the ignition sense.
² The power lock switch signal.
² The rear liftgate signal.
Automatic Locking
The power lock switch in the center console operates the automatic locking feature. With the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position, pressing and holding the upper portion of the power lock switch for at least five seconds activates
automatic locking. With the automatic locking feature activated, the doors and rear liftgate will lock upon reaching a
speed of approximately 15 km/h (9 MPH). If after automatic locking is active, the vehicle is unlocked with the interior
power lock switch, this state is maintained until a door is opened, or until the ignition is turned off. Automatic locking
is accomplished again only upon reaching the specified speed. The logic circuitry for automatic locking is integrated
into the Central Locking Pump/Security System Module. The automatic locking feature can also be toggled

Automatic Locking
The automatic locking function can be activated or deactivated with the DRB IIIT. The interior power door lock
switch may also be used with the ignition switched on by pressing and holding the power door lock switch for more
than 5 seconds in either the lock (auto locking switched on) or unlock (auto locking switched off) position. The interior
power door lock switch can be inhibited with the DRB IIIT.
Global/Selective Central Locking
The keyless entry system has a Global or Selective mode function for central locking that can be programed by the
customer. The factory setting is Global, which will lock and unlock both doors, rear liftgate and fuel door centrally
when the respective button is pressed once. The Selective mode will only change which power locks unlock. To
activate the Selective mode, press both the Unlock and Lock buttons simultaneously for approximately five seconds
until the battery check lamp in the transmitter flashes twice. The Unlock button will then only unlock the driver door
and the fuel door when it is pressed once. Pressing the Unlock button a second time, unlocks the passenger’s door
and the rear liftgate. The factory setting can be restored by pressing both the Unlock and Lock buttons simultaneously
again for approximately five seconds until the battery check lamp in the transmitter flashes twice. If the
vehicle was locked using the power lock switch in the center console while in the Selective mode, opening a door

from inside unlocks that door only. If the vehicle was locked using the power lock switch in the center console while
in the Global mode, opening a door from the inside unlocks both doors and the rear liftgate. If the vehicle was
locked using the RKE transmitter, the doors and rear liftgate cannot be unlocked using the power lock switch in the
center console. If the vehicle was locked from the outside, opening a door from the inside will not unlock other
openings but it will trigger the alarm.
