Activating Intelligent Access

(If

Equipped)

General Information

You can unlock and lock the vehicle
without taking the keys out of your pocket
or purse when your intelligent access key
is within 3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle.
Intelligent access uses a sensor on the
back of the door handle for unlocking and
a separate sensor on the face of each door
handle for locking.

The system does not function if:
•

Your vehicle battery has no charge.

•

The key battery has no charge.

•

The key frequencies are jammed.

Note: The system may not function if the
key is close to metal objects or electronic
devices, for example keys or a cell phone.

Note: If the system does not function, use
the key blade to lock and unlock your
vehicle. See Remote Control (page 56).

Unlocking Using Intelligent Access

E248555

With your intelligent access key within 3 ft
(1 m) of your vehicle, touch the unlock
sensor on the back of the door handle for
a brief period and then pull on the door
handle to unlock, being careful to not
touch the lock sensor at the same time or
pulling the door handle too quickly. The
intelligent access system requires a brief
delay to authenticate your intelligent
access key fob.

Locking Using Intelligent Access

E248556

With your intelligent access key within 3 ft
(1 m) of your vehicle, touch the outer door
handle lock sensor for approximately one

Smart Unlocks for Intelligent
Access Keys

(If Equipped)

This feature helps to prevent you from
locking your intelligent access key inside
your vehicle’s passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.

When you lock your vehicle using the
power door lock control (with the door
open, vehicle in park and ignition off), your
vehicle searches for an intelligent access
key in the passenger compartment after
you close the door. If your vehicle finds a
key, all of the doors immediately unlock.

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.

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.

ignition is on and your vehicle speed is
9 mph (15 km/h) or lower.

•

Your vehicle reaches a speed greater
than 12 mph (20 km/h).

closed, and your vehicle has been
moving at a speed greater than 12 mph
(20 km/h).

Your vehicle comes to a stop and you
switch the ignition off or to the
accessory position.

•

You open the driver door within 10
minutes of switching the ignition off or

electronically lock your vehicle after you
switch the ignition off and before you open
the driver door.

feature in the information display or an
authorized dealer can do it for you. See
