The 1997 Lumina doesn't work that way. As soon as you start it both
front doors lock. Unless one of the front doors is open.
And they lock when cranking, so you might not hear them lock.
Nothing to do with speed.

The 1997 Lumina must belong to the 1% that isn't.
And I have the owners manual.

No cars lock the steering upon key removal, they lock when rotated to
off, it's a mechanical linkage.

Not my Toyotas.. They lock after the key is removed (or the kill button is
pushed)
AND the driver's door is opened. The wheel need not be turned to a preset
lock
position.
