Smart Unlocks for Integrated Keyhead Transmitter This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your vehicle if your key is still in the ignition. When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle with the power door lock control, all the doors will lock then unlock if your key is still in the ignition. You can still lock your vehicle with the key in the ignition using the keyless entry keypad with the driver door closed, or by pressing the lock button on the transmitter even if the doors are not closed. If both front doors are closed, you can lock your vehicle by any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not. 2013 Taurus Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, December 2012 USA (fus)
