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 inside your vehicle
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 will 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 feature on or off

Hands-Free Feature (If Equipped)
Make sure you have an intelligent access
transmitter within
3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate. 1.
Move your foot under and away from the
rear bumper detection area in a
single-kick motion. Do not move your
foot sideways or the sensors may not
detect the motion.

Allow the power system to open the
liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the
liftgate may activate the system’ s obstacle
detection feature and stop the power
operation or reverse its direction. Manually

intelligent access key away from the rear
bumper detection area when washing your
vehicle.
