Doors and Locks

Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys This helps to prevent you from locking your key inside the passenger compartment or rear cargo area. When you electronically lock your vehicle with any door open, transmission in park (P) and the ignition off, the system searches for an intelligent access key inside your vehicle after you close the last door. If the system finds a key, all of the doors immediately unlock and a tone sounds, indicating that a key is inside. You can override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the intelligent access key inside your vehicle. To do this, lock your vehicle after you have closed all the doors by: • Using the keyless entry keypad. • Pressing the lock button on another intelligent access key. • Touching the locking area on the handle with another intelligent access key in your hand.
