If your vehicle’s perimeter alarm is in the armed state, the smart unlock
feature will not allow you to lock your IA key inside the trunk. When the
alarm is armed, if the IA key is detected in the trunk, the decklid will
automatically be released when you attempt to close it, and the horn will
chirp, as a reminder that the IA key is inside. If you would like to
intentionally lock your IA key in the trunk of your vehicle, first disarm
the perimeter alarm by unlocking the vehicle, then place the IA key in
the trunk, close the trunk, and rearm your perimeter alarm system by
locking the vehicle using your keyless entry keypad or another IA key.
For more information on arming/disarming of the perimeter alarm
system, refer to Perimeter alarm system in this chapter.
