Acura 2013 TL - Manual (Page 157)

If you forget and leave the key
in the ignition switch, lockout
prevention will not allow you to lock
the driver’s door. With any door
open and the key in the
ignition switch, locking with the
master door lock switch is disabled.
If the driver’s door is closed, the
lock tab on the driver’s door is not
disabled. Pulling the driver’s lock
tab rearward will lock all doors. If
you try to lock an open driver’s door
by pulling the lock tab rearward, the
driver’s door lock tab pops out
and unlocks the driver’s door.
The childproof door locks are
designed to prevent children seated
in the rear from accidentally opening
the rear doors. Each rear door has a
lock lever near the edge. With the
lever in the LOCK position (lever is
down), the door cannot be opened
from the inside regardless of the
position of the lock tab. To open the
door, push the lock tab forward and
use the outside door handle.
To lock any passenger’s door when
getting out of the vehicle, pull the
lock tab rearward and close the door.
To lock the driver’s door, remove
the key from the ignition switch,
pull the lock tab rearward or
push the front of the master switch,
then close the door.
When the vehicle speed reaches
about 10 mph (15 km/h) or more, all
the doors lock automatically.
When you shift to P after driving, the
driver’s door unlocks.
When you set the power mode to
VEHICLE OFF (LOCK) after
driving, the driver’s door unlocks.
