Smart Unlock
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The smart unlock feature prevents the driver door from locking with the key in the ignition lock cylinder. When the DDM receives a LOCK command from a door lock control switch, and the key is in the ignition lock cylinder with the driver door open, the DDM commands all the doors to UNLOCK.
