Locks and Security

Illuminated entry

The interior lamps illuminate when the remote entry system is used to
unlock the door(s).
The system automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when the ignition
is turned to the ON or ACC position. The dome lamp control (if
equipped) must not be set to the OFF position for the illuminated entry
system to operate.
The inside lights will not turn off if:
• they have been turned on with the dimmer control, or
• any door is open.
The battery saver will shut off the interior lamps 10 minutes after the
ignition has been turned to the OFF position.

Smart unlocking feature

The smart unlocking feature prevents you from locking yourself out of
the vehicle by unlocking the doors if the key is in the ignition and the
driver's door is open/ajar when the vehicle doors were locked using the
power lock/unlock control.
The smart unlocking feature operates independent of the position of the
ignition.

Autolocking feature

The autolocking feature locks all vehicle doors when the following
conditions are met:
• All doors, including the liftgate, are closed.
• The brake is pressed while the ignition is in the RUN position.
• The transmission is in either a forward or reverse gear.
• The vehicle has a speed of 8 km/h (5 mph) or greater.
This feature relocks all doors if any door is opened, the brake is pressed
after all doors are closed again and the vehicle has a speed of 8 km/h (5
mph) or greater.
