The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, by locking
the driver’s door with a key or using the lock control on the remote
entry key fob.
If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked from any
method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.

•all doors are closed,
•the ignition is in the on position,
