To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft

Grabbing the passenger door handle will unlock
all doors and the tailgate automatically.
Grab The Door Handle To Unlock
NOTE:
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
Ú page 224.
All doors will unlock when the front

passenger door handle is grabbed regardless
of the driver's door unlock preference
setting.
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 finds 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
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 outside 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.
