display. See General Information
(page 100).

Press the button again within three
seconds to confirm that all the doors
are closed. The doors will lock again,
the horn will chirp and the turn signals
will illuminate if all the doors and the

Note: If any door or the luggage

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
will lock and the alarm will arm. You
can enable or disable this feature in
the information display. See General
Information
(page 100).

doors when:
• all doors are closed,
• the ignition is on,
• you shift into any gear putting your
vehicle in motion, and
• your vehicle attains a speed
greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
