Activating Intelligent Access (If
Equipped)
The intelligent access key must be within
3.3 ft (1 m)
of your vehicle.
At the Front Doors
Pull a front exterior door handle to unlock
and open the door. The unlock sensor is on
the back of the handle. Make sure not to
touch the lock sensor area on the front of
the handle. Press and hold the lock sensor area for
about a second to lock your vehicle. To
avoid unlocking the door inadvertently,
make sure you only touch the lock sensor
and not other areas of the door handle.
After locking the doors with the lock
sensor, there is a brief delay before you can
unlock your vehicle. This delay lets you pull
the handle to make sure it locked.
Note:
Keep the door handle surface clean
to avoid issues with operation. At the Electronic Tailgate Press the exterior tailgate release button
inside of the tailgate handle. The tailgate
will unlock and open. See
Tailgate (page

you open the driver door and lock your
vehicle with the power door lock control,
the doors lock then unlock.
You can still lock your vehicle with the key
in the ignition by:
• Using the manual lock on the inside of
the door.
• Locking the driver door with a key.
• Using the keyless entry keypad.
• Using the lock button on the remote
control.

When you lock your vehicle using the
power door lock control (with the 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 door. If your vehicle finds a
key, all of the doors will 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 will lock then unlock if
the ignition is on.
Autolock and Autounlock (If Equipped)
The autolock feature locks all the doors
when your doors are closed, the ignition is
on, and your vehicle reaches a speed
greater than
12 mph (20 km/h).
When your doors autolock while driving,
stopping the vehicle then switching the
ignition off or to accessory and opening
the driver door unlocks all your doors. This
autounlock feature remains active for 10
minutes after stopping.
Note: The doors do not autounlock if you
have electronically locked them before
opening the driver door.

independently of each other using the
information display. An authorized dealer
can also help you enable or disable these
features. See General Information (page

Full Guard (If Equipped)
To monitor the following:
• Doors.
• Hood.
• Tailgate.
• Movement inside your vehicle.
• Change in vehicle inclination, for
example, unwanted towing.

Note: Do not choose full monitor mode if
movement within the vehicle is likely to
occur or when the vehicle is in transport.
Note: For correct operation of the interior
motion detection system, make sure all
windows are closed prior to arming the
system. This helps prevent accidental alarm
activation due to external influences and
make sure of correct interior motion
detection. Additionally, the interior motion
sensing system will not arm if any door is
ajar.
Arming the Alarm
The alarm is ready to arm when there is
not a key in the ignition. Lock your vehicle
to arm the alarm.
The direction indicators flash once after
you lock your vehicle. This indicates the
alarm is in the pre-armed mode. It fully
arms after 20 seconds.
Disarming the Alarm
Disarm the alarm by any of the following
actions:
• Press the power door unlock button
within the 20-second pre-armed mode.
• Unlock the doors with the remote
control or keyless entry keypad. •
Switch the ignition on or start your
vehicle.
• Use a key in the driver door lock
cylinder to unlock your vehicle, then
switch the ignition on within 12
seconds.

remote control stops the horn and direction
indicators, but will not disarm the system.
