    							POWER DOOR LOCKS
    •Press the
    control to unlock all
    doors.
    •Press the
    control to lock all
    doors.
    Smart unlocks
    This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
    if your key is still in the ignition.
    When you open one of the front doors and you lock the vehicle with the
    power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
    the doors will lock, then all doors will automatically unlock reminding
    you that your key is still in the ignition.
    The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the
    control on the transmitter, or locking the vehicle with the keyless entry
    keypad.
    If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked by any method,
    regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
    Smart unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys (IA key) (if equipped)
    The smart unlock feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
    locking your IA key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or
    trunk.
    When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
    lock control (with the door open), after you close the door the vehicle
    will search for an IA key in the passenger compartment. If an IA key is
    found inside the vehicle, all of the doors will immediately unlock and the
    horn will chirp, indicating that the IA key is inside.
    In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
    IA key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle using your keyless
    entry keypad or using the
    control on another IA key. Refer toKeyless
    entry systemin this chapter for more information on keyless entry
    keypad operation.

    							If your vehicle’s perimeter alarm is in the armed state, the smart unlock
    feature will not allow you to lock your IA key inside the trunk. When the
    alarm is armed, if the IA key is detected in the trunk, the decklid will
    automatically be released when you attempt to close it, and the horn will
    chirp, as a reminder that the IA key is inside. If you would like to
    intentionally lock your IA key in the trunk of your vehicle, first disarm
    the perimeter alarm by unlocking the vehicle, then place the IA key in
    the trunk, close the trunk, and rearm your perimeter alarm system by
    locking the vehicle using your keyless entry keypad or another IA key.
    For more information on arming/disarming of the perimeter alarm
    system, refer toPerimeter alarm systemin this chapter.

    unattended in the vehicle. On hot days, the temperature in the
    trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people or
    animals to these high temperatures for even a short time can cause
    death or serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small
    children are particularly at risk.

    							Intelligent Access key
    Refer toIntelligent Accessin this
    section for more features.
    Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
    responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
    operate the equipment.
    The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
    (10 meters). A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
    •weather conditions,
    •nearby radio towers,
    •structures around the vehicle, or
    •other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
    The transmitter allows you to:
    •remotely unlock the vehicle doors.
    •remotely lock all the vehicle doors.
    •remotely open the trunk.
    •activate the personal alarm.
    •arm and disarm the perimeter anti-theft system.
    •operate the illuminated entry feature.
    •activate the global opening windows feature.
    The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any ignition position
    except while the vehicle is in the start position. The panic feature
    operates with the ignition off.
    If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
    ALL Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or Intelligent Access keys
    with you to the authorized dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the
    problem.

    							Intelligent Access (if equipped)
    WARNING:Radio waves from the Intelligent Access system
    transmitters in the vehicle may affect certain implanted medical
    devices such as pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. People having
    such implanted medical devices should ask the medical device
    manufacturer or their physician whether the Intelligent Access system
    may affect the equipment before coming into close proximity with a
    vehicle equipped with Intelligent Access. Failure to do so may result in
    interference with the medical device, which could result in serious
    injury.
    Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
    actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the Intelligent Access
    feature at the driver door or at the trunk. You can activate the Intelligent
    Access feature as long as you have one of your Intelligent Access Keys
    within range of the driver door or the trunk.
    Activating Intelligent Access at the Driver’s Door:If your IA key is
    within 3 feet (1 meter) of the drivers door, you can activate your
    Intelligent Access system by pressing any button on the keyless entry
    keypad. The drivers door will automatically unlock and the door can be
    opened.
    (Note:If two stage unlocking is disabled, all doors will unlock when you
    press any button on the keyless entry keypad).
    Activating Intelligent Access at the Trunk:If your IA key is within
    3 feet (1 meter) of the trunk, you can activate your Intelligent Access
    system by pressing the exterior trunk release button, hidden below the
    license plate. The trunk will release and open.
    Refer to theRemote entry systemin this section for more details on
    how to use the lock, unlock, panic, or trunk buttons on the transmitter.
    Your Intelligent Access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
    communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
    when commanded (either by pressing any keyless entry keypad button,
    the trunk button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If excessive RF
    interference is present in the area, or if your vehicle battery is low, it
    may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The mechanical key
    blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver’s door in this
    situation (refer toIntelligent access keyin this chapter for more
    information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade).
    A mechanical key is needed for access if the IA key battery or vehicle
    battery is low.
