Keyless Access System

When you carry the remote transmitter (for example, in a pocket or purse) and it
is outside the vehicle and within range (about 32 inches or 80 cm), you can lock or
unlock the doors and tailgate without handling the transmitter.
Unlocking/Locking the Doors
To unlock: Grab the driver's door handle when the
vehicle is off to unlock the driver's door. Grab the
front passenger's (or rear*) door handle to unlock
all doors and the tailgate.
To lock: Press the door lock button on any front
(or rear*) door handle when the vehicle is off. If the
remote transmitter is inside the vehicle, the doors
will not lock.
Unlocking the Tailgate
Press and hold the tailgate release button under
the tailgate handle to unlock and open the tailgate.
The vehicle can be on or off.
If there is not enough clearance for the tailgate
to fully open, press and hold the tailgate release
button until you hear two beeps. The tailgate
unlatches, and you can open it manually.
