We take delivery of our new 2011 HHR 2LT on Monday and I am unable to find where you can disable the automatic door un-locking feature when you shift to Park. When you are driving alone and park in a parking lot, I don't want all my doors to automatically unlock when I shift to Park. We read the Owner's Manual, but maybe I've missed it. Thank you for any help!

 

The smart alec in me said "Just keep Driving!!!"
The realist in me says I don't think that system can be changed.
As a husband I can offer is to be aware of your surroundings. I'm in many underground garages every week. Don't just go for the first spot you see. The farther into a lot you go there are always more spots because people are lazy. Go farther in all the while being aware of the people you see. On your way "out" take a spot you saw earlier. When you shift into park you can hit the button on the door and lock up till you are ready to exit the HHR. But why would you want to leave your HHR parked anyway? 8)

We picked up our HHR today and found that if you press both the INFO and RESET buttons on the steering wheel for about a second, you can then SCROLL down the DIC banner to the DOOR UNLOCK/LOCK options and set the door locking parameters to suit your taste.
Thank you for your help.

 

Stop playing with your locks & drive!

Welcome & enjoy the ride!

 

So they really shouldn't be setting the lock parameters at 75 on the interstate? Where's the fun in doing it stopped in the driveway?!

 

It's in the Owners Manual...step by step..

I reset mine to only unlock when I switch off the ignition key...

edit: There are many things you can personalize in the DIC, you look, you will see..
