’s passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.

searches for an intelligent access key inside
your vehicle after you close the last door. If
the system finds a key, all 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 sensor on the door
window trim with another intelligent
access key in your hand.
