Folks,
 My son'r girlfriend recently acquired a 1999 Bravada. Great shape
really...

 Her car has an auto lock feature that locks the door as soon as the
vehicle starts. I had a 99 Chevy Lumina that did the same thing. I hated it!
Too easy to lock your keys in the car.

Scenerio...you reach in to start the vehicle to let it warm up and shut the
door...yep..you're locked out. The newer vehicles won't engage until the
vehicle is either put into gear, or reaches 15 mph.

Any way to override this for her? She locked herself out today and had to
leave the car running for 2 hours until AAA could get to her. She only had
the one set of keys. Actually on the way to the store to get a spare key
cut.

I know that she could start the car, unlock the doors then shut the door.
But believe me..it is easy to forget.

Just hoping someone has a sequence or procedure to cancel this feature.

Thanks in advance!!
