Q: How to change the automatic door lock feature?

I found an article on a Honda dealers website on how to program the different features for the automatic door lock features. There is no way for me to know whether your vehicle is equipped with the automatic locking features and this article does not state that it is for any certain models or years. You might give these a try and see if it works for you. If not, I would suggest contacting a certified mechanic, like those available at YourMechanic.com, to take a look at the vehicle and determine whether it is equipped, and if it can be programmed.
