Door Lock Inhibit
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Pickup and 2004 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the key is in the ignition, 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 transmitter will still lock the doors as usual.
