Autounlock feature (if enabled)
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 12 mph (20 km/h);
• the vehicle has then come to a stop and the ignition is turned off or to
accessory; and
• the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being
turned off or to accessory.
Note: The doors will not autounlock if the vehicle has been electronically locked after the ignition is turned off and before the driver door is opened.
Deactivating/activating autounlock feature
Your vehicle comes with the autounlock feature activated; there are three methods to enable/disable this feature:
• Through your authorized dealer,
• by using a power door unlock/lock sequence, or
