If you push the power door lock switch while the ignition
is in the ON/RUN position, and any door or the liftgate
is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents
you from accidentally locking the key fob in the vehicle.
Placing the ignition in the OFF position or closing the
doors and liftgate will allow the locks to operate.
KEYLESS ENTER 'N GO™ —
PASSIVE ENTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the
vehicle's Remote Keyless Entry system and a feature of
Keyless Enter 'n Go™ — Passive Entry. This feature
allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle's door(s) with-
out having to push the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
•
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off through
Uconnect Settings
page 142.
•
The key fob may not detect the Passive Entry system
if it is located next to a mobile phone, laptop or
other electronic device; these devices may block the
key fob's wireless signal and prevent the Passive
Entry system from locking and unlocking the vehicle.
•
If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing, or
there is salt/dirt covering the Passive Entry door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be affected,
resulting in a slower response time.
•
The doors may unlock when water is sprayed on the
Passive Entry door handles, if the key fob is located
outside of the vehicle within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
handle.
•
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no
door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will
relock and, will arm the Vehicle Security system
(if equipped).
To Unlock From The Driver's Side Or Passenger's Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
either front door handle, grab the door handle to unlock
the door automatically.
Grab The Door Handle To Unlock
•
Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock
when you grab hold of the front driver's door handle,
depending on the selected setting in the Uconnect
system
page 142.
•
All doors and the liftgate will unlock when the front
passenger door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver's door unlock preference setting.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key (FOBIK-Safe)
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 switch
is in the OFF position.
There are three situations that trigger a FOBIK-Safe
search in any Passive Entry vehicle:
•
A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry key
fob while a door is open.
•
A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door
handle while a door is open.
•
A lock request is made by the door panel switch
while the door is open.
When any of these situations occur, after all open doors
are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it
detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle and it
does not detect any Passive Entry key fobs outside the
vehicle, then the vehicle will unlock and alert the
customer.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid Pas-
sive Entry key fob is detected inside the vehicle. The
vehicle will not unlock the doors when any of the follow-
ing conditions are true:
•
The doors are manually locked using the door lock
knobs.
•
Three attempts are made to lock the doors using
the door panel switch and then the doors are
closed.
•
There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive
Entry door handle.
