POWER DOOR LOCKS Power door lock system allows all doors to be locked or unlocked using either front door lock switch. All doors can be mechanically locked or unlocked using respective locking knobs or from outside of vehicle using key. Driver’s or passenger’s door can also be unlocked by actuating inside door handle. On Sebring Convertible, trunk can be unlocked using switch inside vehicle. All 4-door models are equipped with child protection locks on rear doors. Lever is located on inside edge of door, near latch. Moving lever to engage lock will allow rear door to only be opened using outside door handle. On models with anti-theft system, power door lock system is integrated into anti-theft system. See ANTI- THEFT SYSTEMS – SEBRING CONVERTIBLE, SEBRING SEDAN & STRATUS SEDAN article. Locking or unlocking door with key will arm or disarm anti-theft system (if equipped), and cancel or activate illuminated entry feature. An optional central locking system is also a part of anti-theft system. Turning key in driver’s door to unlock position one time will unlock driver’s door. Unlocking passenger’s door with a key or turning driver’s door lock to unlock position 2 times within 5 seconds will unlock all doors. All models are equipped with a door lock inhibit function. Body Control Module (BCM) will ignore command to lock power door locks with ignition switch in ON position and driver’s door open. When door is closed or ignition key is removed, BCM will lock all door locks. All models are also equipped with automatic door locks. Doors will lock automatically when all doors are closed, vehicle speed exceeds 14-16 MPH and Throttle Position (TP) sensor is greater than 8-12 degrees. This feature can be enabled or disabled. If door lock switch is pressed for longer than eight consecutive seconds, BCM will disable door lock relay. Power latches are equipped with a thermal protection system which prevents latches from burning out.
