Question on the Smart Key

Does the smart key unlock the door while you apporach the car? I tried search but didn't find any direct answer on this question.

u just answered my question. I thought the smart key is aliked the one in Lexus and Infiniti FX35 that you can leave the key in your pocket and once you in close range with the car the door will automatically unlock itself.
