Smart Unlocks
This feature helps to prevent you from
unintentionally locking your intelligent
access key inside your vehicle
’s
passenger compartment or rear cargo
area.
When you electronically lock your
vehicle using the driver or passenger
power door lock control (with any
door open, vehicle in park and ignition
off), your vehicle will search for an
intelligent access key in the passenger
compartment after you close the last
door. If your vehicle finds a key, all of
the doors will immediately unlock and
the horn will chirp 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 all doors are closed 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 will lock
then unlock if:
• the ignition is on, or
• the ignition is off and your vehicle
is not in P.
Auto Relock
If you press the unlock button on the
remote control and do not open a
door within 45 seconds, your vehicle

COMPARTMENT RELEASE WARNINGS
Keep vehicle doors and luggage
compartment locked and keep
keys and remote transmitters out of
a child ’s reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in the trunk and
risk injury. Children should be taught
not to play in vehicles. Do not leave children, unreliable
adults, or animals unattended in
the vehicle. On hot days, the
temperature in the trunk or vehicle
interior can rise very quickly. Exposure
of people or animals to these high
temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious
heat-related injuries, including brain
damage. Small children are
particularly at risk. Your vehicle is equipped with a
release handle that provides a means
of escape for children and adults if
they become locked inside the
luggage compartment.
Adults should familiarize themselves
with the operation and location of the
release handle.
