with an automatic door unlock feature which
will function if the ignition switch 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 fobs. 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 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, push the door handle lock
button to lock all doors.
Push The Door Handle Button To Lock
Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing the
door handle lock button. This could unlock the
door(s).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
After pushing the door handle lock button,

you must wait two seconds before you can
lock or unlock the doors, using either Passive
Entry door handle. This is done to allow you to
check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the
door handle, without the vehicle reacting and
unlocking.
The Passive Entry system depends on a key

fob that is not fully discharged of its coin
battery capacity.
When the key fob battery is low, the instru-

ment cluster will display a message indi-
cating that the key fob battery is low. Refer to
"Keys" in this chapter for further information.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using
the key fob lock button or the lock button
located on the vehicle's interior door panel.
