Smart Locks

This feature helps prevent you from locking yourself out of your vehicle if your key is still in the ignition.

When you open the driver door and lock your vehicle with the power door lock control, all the doors will lock, then the driver door will automatically unlock reminding you that your key is still in the ignition.

Your vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the manual lock button on the door, locking the driver door with a key or using the lock button on the remote entry transmitter.

Autolock (If Equipped)

The autolock feature will automatically lock all the doors when:

• all the doors are closed,
• the ignition on,
• you shift into any gear putting the vehicle in motion, (for manual transmission, the parking brake should not be engaged) and
• the vehicle attains a speed greater than 20 km/h.

The autolock feature repeats when:

• any door is opened then closed while the ignition is on and the vehicle speed is 15 km/h or lower, and
• the vehicle attains a speed greater than 20 km/h.

Autounlock (If Equipped)

The autounlock feature will unlock all the doors when:

• the ignition is on, all the doors are closed, and the vehicle has been in motion at a speed greater than 20 km/h;
• the vehicle has then come to a stop and the ignition is switched off or to accessory; and
• the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being switched off or to accessory.

• through your authorized dealer
• by using the information display.

Before following the activation or deactivation procedures, make sure that the active anti-theft system is not armed, the ignition is off, and all vehicle doors are closed.

Illuminated Entry

The interior lamps and turn signal lamps illuminate when the integrated keyhead transmitter is used to unlock the door(s).

The illuminated entry system will turn off the interior lights if:

• the ignition switch is turned to the on position, or
• the integrated keyhead transmitter lock control is pressed, or
• after 25 seconds of illumination.

The inside lights will not turn off if:

• they have been turned on with the dimmer control, or
• any door is open.

Illuminated Exit

The lights will turn off if all the doors remain closed and:
