Auto Lock

AUTOLOCK

The autolock feature locks all the doors when all the doors, including the liftgate, are closed, the brake pedal is pressed with the key in ON position, and vehicle speed then exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph) or higher. This feature relocks the doors (if any doors were open) after the brake pedal is pressed, once all the doors are read as closed and vehicle speed then exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph). Door ajar switches are wired directly to the vehicle security module. The autolock feature can be enabled/disabled through module configuration, the ignition switch, and the keyless entry keypad. The auto-lock feature also uses inputs from the key position, the brake pedal position (BPP) switch and vehicle speed through the universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART)-based protocol (UBP) network.

SMART UNLOCK

The smart unlock feature prevents the driver door from locking with the key in the ignition lock cylinder. When the vehicle security module receives a LOCK command from a door lock control switch, and the key is in the ignition lock cylinder with the driver door open, the vehicle security module commands the driver door to UNLOCK.
