I cannot find this setting in the manual. I think it prevents someone from unlocking the door when the vehicle is moving? I can test this when I get the chance to drive someone, if that's what it is.

What does "Locks -> Switches Inhibit" do under vehicle settings?
Found this on fusion forum:
This feature protects you if you lock your car and leave the windows down. Switch inhibit means that someone can't walk up to your car and unlock the doors with the switch inside the car.

in·hib·it| inˈhibət | verb (inhibits, inhibiting, inhibited) [with object] 1 hinder, restrain, or prevent (an action or process): cold inhibits plant growth. • prevent or prohibit (someone) from doing something: the earnings rule inhibited some retired people from working. • Physiology & Biochemistry (chiefly of a drug or other substance) slow down or prevent (a process, reaction, or function) or reduce the activity of (an enzyme or other agent).
The switches are "inhibited". Means that they're prevented from functioning. As noted above, this is a security feature.
After a timeout from the last activity, the unlock switch is inhibited - essentially, it's disabled.
Opening the door from the inside without unlocking will trigger the alarm.
Say you're in the vehicle for an extended period of time after the accessory timeout (radio turns off, 12V outlets lose power, etc.). Say it's a half hour. You cannot unlock the vehicle from the buttons on the front doors. When you open the door anyway, it sets off the alarm.
Solution: use the fob to unlock the vehicle when you get the "switches inhibited" alert, then exit as normal.
