Door Lock Inhibit
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2002 Dodge Caravan, 2002 Chrysler Voyager, and 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the key is in the ignition and in any position and either front door is open, the door lock switches LOCK functions are disabled. The UNLOCK functions are still functional. This protects against locking the vehicle with the keys still in the ignition. The RKE key fob will still lock the doors as usual. After the key is removed from the ignition or the doors are closed, the power door locks will operate normally.
