Smart Unlock
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. 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 SJB 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 SJB commands the driver door to unlock.
