At least on my Chevy, GMC and Caddilac auto's I own, you can change these settings via the driver info system.

I found for your year the following info that pretty much makes this a dealer service visit in my opinion.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:
Some customers may comment that they are unable to override the automatic door locking feature. In prior model years, customers were able to select "Doors Lock Manually" from the DIC. However, starting in the 2005 model year, this selection was removed.

Recommendation/Instructions:
Since the 2005 model year, all BCM's (Body Control Modules) are programmed from the factory to allow two personalized door lock settings:

Setting 1: All doors lock when the transmission is shifted into gear.

Setting 2: All doors lock when the vehicle speed is greater than 8 mph (13 km/h).

New BCM calibrations have been released for the 2006-2008 model years to allow a Setting 3: No Automatic door locking (Manual). This setting should ONLY be turned on at the owner's request. Use the appropriate procedure below for the vehicle you are working on to disable the auto door lock feature.

Use the following procedure to turn on this feature for models:
? 2007-2008 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT

? 2007-2008 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe

? 2007-2008 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL

? Reprogram the BCM with updated calibrations currently available in Tis2Web. In some rare instances, the calibrations may not be available in Tis2Web and Techline Customer Support should be contacted to obtain the calibrations. When at the "Calibration Selection" screen in Tis2Web select the "locking" tab (should be highlighted in Red) and pick the calibration listed as "(Per customer request only) Auto Door Lock option ENABLED on DIC".

? On vehicles equipped with steering wheel controls (RPO UK3), DIC control buttons are included. Use the DIC buttons to scroll through the personalization settings to the "Auto Door Lock" feature. There will be to two different settings: "Lock with speed" or "Lock in gear". You will notice there is NO new setting but also there will be no "check marks" next to any of the settings. This means the auto door lock feature is disabled. If there is a "check mark" next to one of the "Auto Door Lock" selections then the only way to remove the "check mark" is to scroll to "Factory Settings" and select "Restore", this will remove the "check mark" thus disabling the "Auto Door Lock" feature.


Note: Please keep in mind that if "Factory Settings Restored" is selected it will change all of the other personalization settings back to the factory settings and they will need to be reset back to the owners settings.


? On vehicles without the DIC control buttons once the BCM is reprogrammed with the new calibration the "Auto Door Locks" will be disabled and can not be turned back on unless the BCM is reprogrammed back with the previous calibration.

Use the following procedure to turn on this feature for models:
? 2006 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT

? 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe

? 2006-2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic

? 2006-2007 GMC Sierra Classic

?2006 GMC Yukon, Yukon Denali, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali XL


Note: NO new calibrations are available for the 2005 models or vehicles with manual transmissions.


Reprogram the BCM with updated calibrations currently available in Tis2Web. When at the "Calibration Selection" screen in Tis2Web select the "locking" tab (should be highlighted in Red) and pick the calibration listed "(Per customer request only) Auto Door Lock option ENABLED on DIC".

On vehicles with Steering Wheel Controls (RPO UK3) use the controls to scroll through the personalization setting to the "Auto Door Lock" feature. There will be a new "Manual" selection now available to choose, along with the two previous selections "In Gear" and "With Speed".

On vehicles Without Steering Wheel Controls (RPO UK3) enter the door lock programming mode, procedure located in section 2 of the owners manual. Once in the programming mode press the lock side of the drivers power door lock switch, you will hear either one, two or NO chimes. One chime indicates you are in Setting 1 (lock in gear), Two chimes you are in Setting 2 (lock with speed) and NO chimes you are in Setting 3 (Manual). Continue to press the door lock switch to scroll through the 3 different selections until you hear the desired setting and then exit the programming mode by turning the ignition key on.

B. After reprogramming the BCM, vehicles with Steering Wheel Controls (RPO UK3) can use the controls to scroll through the personalization setting to the "Auto Door Lock" feature.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

GM Tech (Cam) :

So you need to get it programmed so that feature is available in the cluster then you can, This is the only way.

GM Tech (Cam) :

Oh I see you reposted some of the same bulletin that was cut off.

GM Tech (Cam) :

The procedure requires programming of the BCM, usually a $40 cost then your options will be available in the system to alter the performance for the door locks.

Customer :

thanks

While the information above does not mention Buick, I found many references without this detail that points to this being a service item you have to actually request in the reprogramming to have the feature disabled.

Good luck with it.

I have never seen a GM car you can not disable these I. Read the owners manual and it should be covered. If I can adjust the settings in my 08 Chevys and my 2012 GMC the Buick should be no different.
there are options on how to set them in several ways.

[Robert Hall]

Not sure why you would want to disable it. One thing I've noticed in GM rentals before that I would like to disable is the auto-unlocking feature..very annoying.

Hyper, my 2008 Trailblazer SS allows me to disable or enable this feature. But as I have read and is posted by GM, all 2005 to a few 2008 models have to be reprogrammed as they must have thought this was not a useful feature and took it away, but now it is back.

Delivery. Driver stops, but never takes vehicle out of drive, passenger has to jump out, makes delivery and jumps back in while driver fights off traffic. Repeat 400 times.

Even when I'm by myself, I stop, put the car in park and the locks take too long to unlock, causing me to jam up the system.

Because of this, my children got stuck in the car several times while camping. One day something happened to the key, and we couldn't get the kids out of there.
