To Unlock From The Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passenger door handle, grab
the front passenger door handle to unlock all
four doors and the liftgate automatically.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when the front
passenger door handle is grabbed regardless
of the driver's door unlock preference setting
("Unlock Driver Door 1st Press" or "Unlock
All Doors 1st Press").
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 which
will function if the ignition is OFF.
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.
20
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 shut, the FOBIK-Safe search
will be executed. If it finds a Passive Entry
key fob inside the car, the car will unlock and
alert the customer.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors 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:
The doors are manually locked using the

door lock knobs.
If a paired key fob is found outside of the

vehicle, FOBIK-Safe will not activate.
Three attempts are made to lock the doors

using the door panel switch and then close
the doors.
If the liftgate is opened and then all four

doors are locked, the key fob will become
locked in the vehicle if the liftgate is
closed and will not alert the customer.
To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the liftgate, push the Passive
Entry button located to the left of the liftgate
release handle to open the liftgate with one
fluid motion.
To Lock The Liftgate
NOTE:
Always take the key with you once a door or
the liftgate is locked to prevent locking the
key fob inside of the vehicle. If the key has
been locked inside of the vehicle, it can be
recovered using the second provided key fob.
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the liftgate, push the Passive
Entry button located to the left of the liftgate
release handle.
NOTE:
The liftgate passive entry lock button will
lock all doors and the liftgate.
