Door Lock, lock from door.

Discovered this by accident and thought it was pretty nifty on the designers part.

In the event that you want to lock your door and not reach inside and hit the center mounted button or you've already tucked away your keys etc, you can simply use the manual door lock on the drivers side.

When manually locked/pushed down, this will trigger all the others to also move to the locked position and the vehicle chimes 3 times.

....neat!

i did this yesterday.

i like the way i wasn't sure if i locked it the other night and went to the onstar app on my phone and made sure it was locked. some good technology in these little machines

Too neat for words. Not that I doubted you, but I had to try it myself.

when i was went to show my brother how the phone app worked the other day, i hit the horns and light button. it kept processing so i said heck with it.
then i started my car and it locked up my app in my phone.

Awesome. Thank you! I can't tell you how many times I reached back into the car to lock the doors.

I have a key fob for that? haha. my Aveo was the same way. but you couldn't do it with the door open. it was dummy proof for locking keys in the car.

there is an option to turn on "lock out protection" in the vehicle settings, it wont let you lock the driver door without the remote or onstar app, will always pop the driver lock up and ding.

Cool feature.

Altough just like my Cobalts, I just wish I could disable the autolock feature entirely. Short of killing the entire power lock system that is.

I'm pretty sure you can almost do that actually. I know you can disable the unlock key out and lock in gear etc.
