Entry system if it is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop, or other electronic device; these devices may
interfere with the key fob's wireless signal and prevent
the Passive Entry system from locking/unlocking the
vehicle.

Passive Entry door handles if the key fob is located
outside of the vehicle within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the handle.
ASSIVE
 If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door
