Preventing Inadvertent Locking
of the Key fob RKE Transmitter
inside the Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of
unintentionally locking a key fob RKE
transmitter inside your vehicle, the
"Passive Entry" system is equipped
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 system checks the
inside and outside of the vehicle for
any valid key fobs RKE transmitter.
If one of the vehicle's key fobs RKE
transmitters is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid key fobs
RKE transmitters are detected outside
the vehicle, the "Passive Entry" system
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors
and chirps the horn fourteen times (on
the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will
lock and the key fob RKE transmitter
will be locked in the vehicle). This will
happen even on vehicles equipped
with power liftgate/Hands free,
pressing the lower button on the
outer edge of the left boot
compartment lining to close and lock
the liftgate.
NOTE:
The vehicle unlocks the doors under
any of the following conditions:
• the doors are manually locked using
the door lock knob positioned on the
door panel;
• there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter inside the vehicle;
• there is not a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle.
NOTE:
The vehicle will not unlock the doors
under any of the following conditions:
• the doors are locked using the key
fob RKE transmitter;
• the doors are locked using the
button on the "Passive Entry" door
handles;
