Smart Unlocks
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 electronically lock your
vehicle (with any door open, vehicle
in park and ignition off), your vehicle
will search for an intelligent access
key in the passenger compartment
after you close the last door. If your
vehicle finds a key, all of the doors will
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 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 your vehicle is not in P.
Auto Relock
If you press the unlock button on the
remote control and do not open a
door within 45 seconds, your vehicle
will lock and the alarm will arm. You
can enable or disable this feature in
the information display. See General
Information (page 101).
Autolock Feature
The autolock feature will lock all the
doors when:
• all doors are closed,
• the ignition is on,
• you shift into any gear putting your vehicle in motion, and
• your vehicle attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
