Passive Door Locking Locks The Doors Of Your GM Vehicle Automatically: Feature Spotlight

So, you arrive to your destination, park, shut off your car, and exit the vehicle. But since you still need to lock the doors, you’re not done yet… right? In a word, no.
With a little-known feature called Passive Locking available on most GM vehicles equipped with Keyless Access, the vehicle will lock its doors automatically after the following three conditions have been met:
- The vehicle has been turned off
- All of the doors have been closed
- At least one Remote Keyless Entry transmitter (key fob) has been removed from the vehicle
Passive Door Locking enables you to not even use use the lock button on the key fob or the button on the vehicle’s door handle to lock the vehicle. You simple park, turn the car off, get out, and walk away. And the vehicle does the rest (locks itself). How convenient is that?
For vehicles with Keyless Access, Passive Door locking can be enabled in the Settings menu of Chevy MyLink, Buick-GMC-Opel IntelliLink, or Cadillac CUE. Simply go to Settings > Vehicle > Remote Lock, Unlock, Start. From here, enable Passive Door Lock.
To note, if other electronic devices interfere with the key fob’s signal, the vehicle may not detect the key fob inside the vehicle. If passive locking is enabled, the doors may lock with the key fob inside the vehicle. And it’s probably not a good idea to leave the key fob in an unattended vehicle.

2011 Silverado: if I leave the keys in the ignition, get out of the truck and the door closes, “auto click!” I’m locked out of the truck.
The truck never locks itself if I take the keys with me.
This is aggravating
Half these clowns with idiotic comments probably do not how to read or did not read their owners manual. It’s all there.
I’ve had 3 Nissan’s. I get in start the vehicle all doors lock. When I turn off the car and exist the vehicle I press the lock on the door get up and exit the vehicle. The doors stay locked. I just purchased a 2017 XT5 Cadillac. Tried locking the doors the same way. Can’t. Was advised of the different door locking set ups. My opinion is GMC made locking the doors way too complicated yet don’t have no enough options to suit each buyer. Some like it, some don’t. I also don’t like the volume scroll bar. Don’t like the delay when changing the radio stations. My 2015 Nissan XM radio has the option to replay. If you like your favorite song you can replay it. Want to replay the news you can rewind it over and over again. Love, love, love this feature. Was told by the salesperson Cadillac is far more superior and luxurious to a Nissan. My friend has a low end Chevy Cruise with the same features. I feel like I was suckered into buying the Cadillac. Seriously considering on returning the XT5 and go get me another Nissan.
Try again , this time ,EDIT ! IMO, automatic door locks are a horrible feature, Nissan or GMC – no matter..But, if one must have them, make the locks programmable and intelligent…If this is impossible, and it may be; simply make them simple and limited in their use.
