Locking & Security
SmartKey
uses an electronic code to unlock the steering column and ignition.
Removing the SmartKey from the ignition disables the engine
computer to help prevent unauthorized starting.
SmartKey remote control integrates Remote Door Lock/Unlock
buttons, trunk opener with valet lockout, removable valet key, and
panic alarm. Driver may selectively unlock only the driver's door
and fuel filler, or both doors plus the trunk and fuel
filler.
SmartKey remote locking uses redundant infrared and
radio-frequency signals for improved range, and rolling-code signal
for protection from transmitter cloning.
SmartKey offers infrared-remote opening/closing of windows
(plus optional sunroof, if equipped) from outside the car.
