An automatic door lock for a vehicle is arranged to lock the door of the vehicle following starting of the vehicle and performance by the driver of another action, such as stepping on the brake pedal of the vehicle in preparation for placement of the vehicle in gear, thereby ensuring that automatic door locking will occur even after the driver exits and re-enters the vehicle after starting it to permit the vehicle to warm up before driving away. The controller may also be programmed to lock the vehicle doors immediately following turning of the ignition, in situations where the brake pedal would not necessarily be pressed prior to placing the vehicle in gear, such as in the case of a manual transmission. |
