Passive Entry System

The "Passive Entry" system is an
enhancement to the vehicle's Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This
function allows you to lock and unlock
the vehicle's door(s) without having to
press the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
• "Passive Entry" may be programmed
to on/off; see "Functions of Settings
Menu on MIA" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls" for further
information.
• If wearing gloves, or if it has been
raining on the "Passive Entry" door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower response
time.
• Access to the vehicle using "Passive
Entry" system may not work properly
in case of interference caused by
external sources such as metal objects,
mobile phones, overhead power lines,
antennas, etc. In these cases, use the
buttons of the key fob to open and
close the vehicle or the emergency key,
inserting it into the driver side door
lock.
• The "Passive Entry" system does not
lock and unlock the doors directly and
immediately but with a slight delay
(about 2 seconds).
