Switch Inhibit Feature

The switch inhibit feature prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle from the door lock control switches or the liftgate release switch. The BCM ignores the input from both door lock control switches and the interior liftgate release switch 20 seconds after the vehicle is electronically locked. If any of these switches are activated while they are inhibited, a chime sounds and a message displays in the message center to indicate the switches are inhibited. The BCM enables the function of these switches when the vehicle is electronically unlocked by another feature.

This feature can be configured on/off through the message center.
