Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Smart Unlock
The smart unlock feature prevents the doors from locking with the key in the ignition lock cylinder. When the SJB receives a lock command from a door lock control switch (only), and the key is in the ignition lock cylinder with one of the front doors open, the SJB commands the doors to unlock.
The vehicle can still be locked with the ignition key in the ignition cylinder by locking the doors with the push button rods, the door lock cylinder or an RKE command from an integrated key or the keyless entry keypad.
