Doors not unlocking when put in park

[Darkcanuck]

Is it normal that the doors of my JL are not unlocking automatically when I the vehicle in park? Is there a setting that can be changed to allow this?

You will find you can change which doors unlock, etc. in Uconnect settings ... radio..

I had a look quick look and I see "Auto Door Locks" and "Auto unlock on Exit". Both of them are "checked" as on. I assume "Auto door locks" keeps the doors unlocked at all times even when driving. I need to uncheck that one so that they never lock?

Auto Lock will lock all the doors when you drive and reach 10 mph or so.
Auto un-Lock will unlock all of the doors when you shift into park and open any front door. It will not unlock the doors simply by shifting to park, you have to open one of the doors (no need to unlock it first).

You missed it..."Auto unlock on Exit". That means when you pull the handle the doors unlock.

Look at it like this. At night, you're in a bad neighborhood parking in a dimly lit lot, the last thing you'd want is for the doors to automatically unlock when you turn off the car.

Now after reading this, for the butt hurt millennials, let's use bear infested campground instead of bad neighborhood.
