Smart Unlocks for Integrated
Keyhead Transmitter

(If Equipped)

This helps to prevent you from locking
yourself out of your vehicle if the 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 doors lock then unlock and the
horn sounds twice if the key is still in the
ignition.

You can still lock your vehicle with the key
in the ignition by:
•

Using the manual lock on the door.

•

Locking the driver door with a key.

•

Using the keyless entry keypad.

•

Pressing the lock button on another
remote control.

Smart Unlocks for Intelligent
Access Keys

(If Equipped)

This helps to prevent you from locking your
key inside the passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.

When you electronically lock your vehicle
with any door open, the transmission is in
park (P) and the ignition is off, the system
searches for an intelligent access key
inside your vehicle after you close the last
door. If the system 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 front
of the door 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 lock then unlock if:
•

The ignition is on.

•

The ignition is off and the transmission
is not in park (P).
