Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry
Key Fob In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your
vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock feature, which
will function if the ignition is in the OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open, and the door
panel switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all
open doors have been closed, the vehicle checks
the inside and outside of the vehicle for any valid
Passive Entry key fob. If one of the vehicle's Passive
Entry key fobs is detected inside the vehicle, and no
other valid Passive Entry key fobs are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry system
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and chirps
the horn three times (on the third attempt, ALL
doors will lock, and the Passive Entry key fob can be
locked in the vehicle).
To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
The liftgate Passive Entry unlock feature is built
into the electronic liftgate handle. With a valid
Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
liftgate, pull the electronic liftgate handle for a
power open on vehicles equipped with a power
liftgate. Pull the electronic liftgate handle and
lift for manual liftgate vehicles.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is unlocked, the liftgate will

open with the handle and no key fob is
required.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
The liftgate will either unlock along with the

vehicle doors, or it will need to be unlocked
by pushing the electronic liftgate release,
depending on the selected setting in the
Uconnect system Ú page 175.
The liftgate (and vehicle doors if unlocked)

must be locked using the lock button on the
key fob, the Passive Entry lock button, or the
lock buttons on the interior front door panels.
