Smart Unlock
The smart unlock feature prevents the vehicle from electronically locking when a passive key is left inside the vehicle. When the doors are electronically locked while a door is ajar and then closed, the interior of the vehicle is scanned for a passive key. If a valid programmed passive key is detected inside the vehicle, the BCM unlocks the doors and chirps the horn twice.
The smart unlock feature also operates to prevent locking a passive key inside the luggage compartment area. When the luggage compartment lid is closed, the interior of the vehicle is scanned for a passive key. If a passive key is detected inside the luggage compartment area when the luggage compartment lid is closed, the BCM releases the luggage compartment lid latch and chirps the horn twice.
To override the smart unlock feature, lock the doors using the keyless entry keypad, the door lock cylinder or another programmed passive key.
