2023 Yukon: Can you lock doors with engine running?

[KingAK55]

Just bought the wifey a 2023 Yukon AT4 and she is wondering how to lock the doors after exiting the vehicle while the engine is running? I'm not sure if its a safety feature, but if its a setting that can be changed, any advice would be appreciated! Thank you

So, the doors automatically lock when all the doors are closed, then engine is running, and the vehicle is shifted out of park.

You can hit the lock button on the door panel if you want to lock before the auto lock. Check "Door Locks" section of your owners manual...probably about page 16.

Manual says "automatic door locking cannot be disabled. Automatic door unlocking can be programmed. See Vehicle Personalization"
The personalization settings are on page 101 I think. Net is you can set the unlock to be Off, Driver Door, or All Doors.

I'm so sorry, huge oversight on my part. I want to know about locking the vehicle when she gets out, but wants to keep engine running (for the pup).

Check Page 16, and into Page 17...under lockout protection; Suggest holding down the lock switch on the inside door panel, next to the door release handle...or possibly on the fob, not sure...screen shot below.

I use the keyfob to lock the doors after I get out and leave the engine running.

same procedure you would do for auto-starting, when you autostart the doors should lock by default if they are not locked already

Yea her work around has been to turn car off, lock, and then remote start it. I havent had much time to play with the vehicle since we got it.

Hm ok. Maybe she is doing something wrong. Will get a chance later today to check it out.

I always use the key fob on my 22 and it locks the doors. Keep in mind the engine will shut down after 15 min with keys outside of the vehicle, and a bit longer if you’re inside with the keys (but then cannot lock it ).

You can disable the shut off by holding the push to start button when you start the truck. And I use the key fob to lock the door and want to run the engine. Same reason too. For my dogs and fullA/C
