LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
Your vehicle has an intelligent electronically
controlled door system that is in constant
communication with overall vehicle systems.
When you lock your vehicle using the lock
switch on each door interior trim panel, or
by using the keyless entry keypad or the lock
sensor on each door exterior trim panel, the
exterior door handle switches will not release
the doors. This helps to secure your vehicle
and prevent unauthorized entry. Also, when
your vehicle reaches a speed greater than
12 mph (20 km/h) the exterior door handle
switches will not release the doors. A tone
may sound indicating the exterior door
handle switches will not release your door
and your vehicle is secure.
If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoff
switch activates, all interior and exterior
unlock switches will not unlock your door for
six seconds. This helps to secure the doors
in the event of a crash. After six seconds, all
switches reset and you can open the doors
using the interior and exterior unlock
switches. Door Lock Indicator
An LED on each front door window trim
illuminates when you lock the doors. It
remains on for up to 10 minutes after you
switch the ignition off.
Door Lock Switch Inhibitor
When you electronically lock your vehicle,
the door lock switches and the interior
luggage compartment release switch do not
operate after 20 seconds. You must unlock
your vehicle with the remote control or
keyless entry keypad, or switch the ignition
on, to restore function to these switches. You
can switch this feature on or off in the
information display.
See General
Information (page 110).

(1 m)
of the door or luggage compartment

current lock status displays but the doors do
not lock.

the current lock status of your vehicle. The
lock status also displays when you open a

Keys
This feature helps to prevent you from
locking your intelligent access key inside
your vehicle
’s passenger compartment or

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 will
immediately unlock and the horn will sound
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 sensor on the door
window trim with another intelligent
access key in your hand.
