Smart Unlock (Without Push-Button Start)

The smart unlock feature prevents the doors from electronically locking with the mechanical key in the ignition lock cylinder. When the BCM receives a lock command from a door lock control switch and the key is detected in the ignition lock cylinder with the driver or front passenger door open, the BCM commands the doors to unlock.

To override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the doors with the mechanical key in the ignition mechanical lock cylinder, close all doors and lock the vehicle by pressing the lock button on another programmed IKT, or with another key using the driver door lock cylinder.
