Locks When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door lock control (with the door open, vehicle park (P) and ignition off), after you close the door your vehicle will search for an intelligent access key in the passenger compartment. If an intelligent access key is found inside your vehicle, all of the doors will immediately unlock and the horn will sound, indicating that the intelligent access key is inside. In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the intelligent access key inside your vehicle, you can lock your vehicle after all doors are closed by using the keyless entry keypad, pressing the lock button on another intelligent access key or touching the locking area on the handle with another intelligent access key in your hand.
