Buick Encore: Lockout Protection
If the vehicle is on or in ACC/ ACCESSORY and the power door lock switch is pressed with the driver door open, all the doors will lock and only the driver door will unlock.
If the vehicle is off and locking is requested while a door is open, when all doors are closed the vehicle will check for RKE transmitters inside. If an RKE transmitter is detected and the number of RKE transmitters inside has not reduced, the driver door will unlock and the horn will chirp three times.
Lockout Protection can be manually
overridden with the driver door open
by pressing and holding 
on the
power door lock switch.
Unlocked Door Anti-Lockout
If Unlocked Door Anti-Lockout has been turned on and the vehicle is off, the driver door is open, and locking is requested, all the doors will lock and the driver door will remain unlocked. The Unlocked Door Anti-Lockout feature can be turned on or off. See Vehicle Personalization
