Smart Unlocks
The smart unlock feature is intended 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 is 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.
Autolock Feature (If Enabled)
The autolock feature will lock all the doors when:
•
all the doors are closed,
•
the ignition is on,
•
you shift into any gear putting your vehicle in motion, and
•
your vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The autolock feature repeats when:
•
you open then close any door while the ignition is on and the vehicle
speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or lower, and
•
your vehicle then reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
