Smart Unlocks for Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your
vehicle if your 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 if your key is
still in the ignition.
You can still lock your vehicle with the key in the ignition. To do this,
use the keyless entry keypad with the driver door closed, or press the
lock button on the transmitter 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 feature helps to prevent you from unintentionally locking your
intelligent access key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
lock control (with the door open, transmission in
P
and ignition off),
after you close the door your vehicle will search for an intelligent access
key in the passenger compartment. If your vehicle finds a key, all of the
doors will immediately unlock and the horn will sound, 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.
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, or
•
the ignition is off and the transmission is not in
P.
