I am always impressed by how much knowledge people on this forum have, perhaps someone can answer a couple questions for me:

I am going in for an oil change on my 07 R/T on Wednesday but I wanted to mention a couple of other things at the same time. There was a post a while back about frustration with having the rear doors stay locked once the vehicle had stopped and been placed into park. This has bugged me since day one. Someone responded they were able to have this corrected at the service center. I mentioned it while making my appointment and the response was that my child safety locks are on and I need to turn them off. Is this correct or is it something bigger than that?

2nd question..I need to update the maps on my Nav system. Is this something I can have the dealer do quickly or is it something I need to do by myself? I could read the manual but I'm being lazy. What is the price involved if the dealer does it?

TIA I appreciate the help

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought with the R/T you could do the locks using the EVIC, it's just the models without the EVIC which need the dealership to do it.

Page 189 of manual says...

Unlock Doors Automatically on Exit
When ON is selected, all doors will unlock when the
vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park)
or N (Neutral) position and the driver’s door is opened.
To make your selection, press and release the FUNCTION
SELECT button until “ON” or “OFF” appears


As for the nav update you'll need to ask the dealership. What makes you think it needs to be updated?

As for not reading the manual. maybe one day you should. You might find lots of other interesting things that you never knew about your Nitro.

You also might check to see if it isn't an issue with the Child-Protection Door Lock System......make sure they are in the "unlock" position.

are the child safety locks are in the door?

Unless you live in an area where there is no crime; you might want to give some thought before reprogramming your door locks. If you program the door locks so all doors become unsecured when placed in park this will happen at all locations, not just at home.

Thank you for the help. I know I need to sit and read the entire manual one day, it is a little difficult to find the time, but I know I should do it. I will look into everyones suggestions prior to tomorrow.

The reason I was curious if an update on the Nav is available is because I have ran into several occasions where streets/addresses do not show on the maps because they are new developments.

Thanks again

I hope you get it sorted out. I know my GPS isn't up to date either. About 1 mile from where I live is a street which doesn't exist to the GPS. It's funny listening to it tell me to do a U-turn as soon as possible..

Depending on how old the development is, it might now be on any maps for about a year. I remember when I moved into my new home in Jersey (new development), my street didn't show on Mapquest or Yahoo Maps for about a year.

Yes, my GPS sent me to a few places in NY last week that were gone. My kids were looking forward to Pizza Hut and when we got there it was boarded up. Could be just a seasonal thing in that case though.

doors unlock

the doors only automatically unlock when the drivers door is opened and it is in P or N...they do not unlock when just putting it in Park - the door must be opened...

Either front door opening will unlock them, but it's true putting it in park is not enough.
