    I've noticed the smart key lock feature sometimes takes 10-12 seconds to lock the doors after pressing the black lock button on the door handle. Most of the time this is instant - I close the door, press button and car is locked! Is there a timing cycle or is there some sort of interference with keys, coins, etc.?
    Thanks,
    Don

    Yes, there can be an interference if something in your pocket is in front of the fob. Cell phones are very good at interfering. I now keep my fob away from my cell phone.
