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 the vehicle will search for an intelligent access
key in the passenger compartment. If an intelligent access key is found
inside your vehicle, all of the doors will immediately unlock and the horn
will chirp, indicating that the intelligent access key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside your vehicle, you can lock your vehicle after
all doors are closed by using the keyless entry keypad, pressing the lock
button on another intelligent access key or touching the locking area on
the handle with another intelligent access key in your hand. Refer to
SecuriCode™ Keyless Entry Keypad in this chapter for more
information on keyless entry keypad operation.
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).
