Doors and Locks

Smart Unlocks for Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (If Equipped) This helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your vehicle if the key is still in the ignition. When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle with the power door lock control, all the doors will lock then unlock and the horn will sound twice if the key is still in the ignition. You can still lock your vehicle with the key in the ignition by either: • Using the keyless entry keypadwith the driver door closed. • Pressing the lock button on the remote control even if the doors are not closed. If both front doors are closed, you can lock your vehicle by any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not. Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys (If Equipped) 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, the transmission is in park (P) and the ignition is 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 doorswill immediately unlock and the horn will sound twice, 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 front of the door handle with another intelligent access key in your hand. When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle using the power door lock control, all doors will lock then unlock if: • The ignition is on. • The ignition is off and the transmission is not in park (P).
