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 51).

Smart Unlocks for Intelligent
Access Keys

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, transmission in park
(P) and the ignition off, the system
searches for an intelligent access key in
the passenger compartment after you
close the last door. If the system finds a
key, all of the doors immediately unlock
and the horn sounds 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 lock then unlock if:
•

The ignition is on.

•

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

Auto Relock

If you press the unlock button on the
remote control and do not open a door
within 45 seconds, your vehicle locks and
the alarm arms. You can switch this
