Discovering your Rogue
This series will feature interesting tips and features about your Rogue. Much of this information is buried in the owners and service manuals that none of us read so I figured it was time to bring these neat features to light.
Part 1: Auto Door Lock feature on +2009 models
Starting with the 2009 model year, all Rogue's have auto locking doors that lock when the vehicle speed exceeds 15mph (24km/h). The doors then unlock automatically when the ignition switch is turned to the ACC position.
Many consider this a useful safety feature, however there is a way to override this should you choose. Read page 3-5 of your owners manual:
The automatic lock and unlock functions can be deactivated or activated independently of each other.
To deactivate or activate the automatic lock or unlock system, perform the following procedure.
1. Close all doors.2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.3. Do one of the following within 20 seconds of performing step 2.
- To change AUTO UNLOCK settings: push and hold the power door lock switch to the position (UNLOCK) for more than 5 seconds.- To change AUTO LOCK settings: push and hold the power door lock switch to the position (LOCK) for more than 5 seconds.
4. When activated, the hazard indicator will flash twice. When deactivated, the hazard indicator will flash once.5. The ignition must be placed in the OFF and ON position again between each setting change.
