for unlocking, and a separate sensor on the
top of each door handle for locking.

is off, the system searches for a passive
key inside your vehicle after you close the
last door. If the system finds a passive key,
all the doors will immediately unlock and
the horn will sound twice, indicating that
a key is inside.
