Automatic Door Locks - If Equipped; Child-Protection Door Lock System - Rear Doors - Jeep GLADIATOR 2022 Owner's Manual

24 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 only if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.
FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with Passive Entry.
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 closed, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it
detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle, the
vehicle will unlock and alert the customer. If Passive
Entry is disabled using the Uconnect system, the key
fob protection described in this section remains
active/functional.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors during a FOBIK-
Safe operation when a valid Passive Entry key fob is
detected inside the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock
the doors when any of the following conditions are true:
•
A second valid Passive Entry key fob is detected out-
side of the vehicle (within 5 ft (1.5 m) of a Passive
Entry door handle).
•
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.
To Lock The Vehicle's Doors
With one of the vehicle's Passive Entry key fobs within
5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or passenger front door
handles, pushing the Passive Entry lock button will lock
the vehicle doors.
Push The Door Handle Button To Lock
NOTE:
When pushing the door handle lock button, DO NOT
grab the door handle. This could unlock the door(s).
DO NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking
NOTE:
•
After pushing the door handle button, the driver
must wait three seconds before locking or unlocking
the doors, using any Passive Entry door handle. This
is done to allow the driver to check if the vehicle is
locked by pulling the door handle without the
vehicle unlocking.
•
If Passive Entry is disabled using the Uconnect sys-
tem, the key protection described in "Preventing
Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry Key Fob In
Vehicle" remains active/functional.
•
The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key
fob battery is depleted page 366.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS —
IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic Door Lock feature default condition is
enabled. When enabled, the door locks will lock auto-
matically when the vehicle's speed exceeds 15 mph
(24 km/h). The Automatic Door Lock feature can be
enabled or disabled by an authorized dealer per written
request of the customer. Please see an authorized
dealer for service.
CHILD-PROTECTION DOOR LOCK

in the rear seats, the rear doors are equipped with a
Child-Protection Door Lock system.

remove the sealing plug for access, and use a flat-blade
screwdriver (or mechanical key) to rotate the dial to the
lock or unlock position.
