Your options are limited, and may depend on the specific trim level and options package of your XL7:
* Check the owner's manual: The most important first step. There *might* be a setting buried within the vehicle's options that allows for adjustment of the auto-lock timing or even disabling it, though this is less likely.
* Dealer/Mechanic: A Suzuki dealer or experienced mechanic familiar with the XL7's electrical system might be able to disable the feature, possibly through reprogramming the car's computer or by physically disconnecting the relevant wiring. However, this is not a simple DIY task and may void warranties.
* Aftermarket solutions (not recommended): While there might be aftermarket alarm systems or electronic modules that offer the ability to customize locking behavior, installing these carries risks and may complicate your vehicle's electrical system.
In short, while a complete disable is improbable without professional intervention, reviewing your owner's manual is the crucial first step. If that fails to yield a solution, contacting a mechanic experienced with Suzuki vehicles is your next best bet. Be prepared for it being more complex and potentially expensive than a simple setting change.
