Smart Lock

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The smart lock feature is controlled by the REM. This feature prevents the operator from accidentally locking the vehicle with the key in the ignition lock cylinder. The REM receives the key-in-ignition status from the instrument cluster and the driver and passenger door ajar status from the front electronic module (FEM) before this feature can function. If the key is in the ignition switch, the driver door is ajar, and an attempt is made to lock the vehicle with the driver door lock control switch, all the doors lock and the driver door unlocks. If the key is in the ignition, the passenger door is ajar, and an attempt is made to lock the vehicle with the passenger door lock control switch, all the doors lock and then all the doors unlock.
