I just bought a used 03 vibe and love it but is there a way to disable these auto locks so the doors dont lock automaticly?Question 2 when i aply the brakes i can hear a squeek come from both rear wheels like the shoes are working but are rubbing on the backer plates or springs streching .is this a comman prob?and last but not least my ac dont work the light comes on on dash when pressed but the clutch does not engage at all in any position and checked the 10 amp fuse and is fine as well as freon seems to be full?any ideas or help would be great.thanks guys.

Mechanical lightweight here - only comment is that my U.S. 2003 Vibe did not automatically lock the doors. Might have been a Canadian thing. That was a safety feature I appreciated in my 2001 PT Cruiser so I don't understand why you would want to disable it - but to each his own. In a later year (2005?) you could program the remote so the Vibe would automatically lock the doors when you started driving.My 2009 has that automatic lock.

I just find it a hassle to always unlock the doors in order for everyone to get out if I dont shut off the car and remove the key.It automatically locks when I start the car and apply the brake or shift into gear.if I could set them so They dont lock then anyone can open there doors without me having to unlock them all the time.Thanks for the reply.If it was just me it wouldnt be a problem but with kids and a wife in and out all the time its just a pain lol.

There is no automaticdoor unlocking.Mode 2: No automatic door locking or unlocking.Mode 3: All doors and liftgate lock when the shift leveris moved out of PARK (P) with the ignition on and alldoors and liftgate closed.
