DO NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking
NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle button, you must wait
two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors,
using any Passive Entry door handle. This is to allow
you to verify that the vehicle is locked by pulling the
door handle, without the passive entry system reacting
and unlocking.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob
battery is dead.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the lock
button located on the vehicle's interior door panel.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 35
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry Key
Fob In Vehicle (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.
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 ajar.
• A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door handle
while a door is ajar.
• A lock request is made by the door panel switch while
the door is ajar.
When any of these situations occur, after all ajar doors are
shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it finds a
Passive Entry key fob inside the car, and it does not find
any Passive Entry key fobs outside the car, then the car will
unlock and alert the customer.
