Smart unlocks
The smart unlock feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
locking your IA key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or rear
cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
lock control (with the door open, vehicle in park and ignition off), after
you close the door the vehicle will search for an IA key in the passenger
compartment. If an IA key is found inside the vehicle, all of the doors
will immediately unlock and the horn will chirp, indicating that the IA
key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
IA key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle using your keyless
entry keypad or using the
control on another IA key. Refer to Keyless
entry system in this chapter for more information on keyless entry
keypad operation.
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 vehicle. When
the alarm is armed, if the IA key is detected in the vehicle, the liftgate
will automatically be released, 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
your vehicle, first disarm the perimeter alarm by unlocking the vehicle,
then place the IA key in the rear cargo area, close the liftgate, 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.
