GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
After pushing the door handle button, the driver
must wait three seconds before locking or unlocking
the doors, using any Passive Entry door handle. This
is done to allow the driver to check if the vehicle is
locked by pulling the door handle without the
vehicle unlocking.
If Passive Entry is disabled using the Uconnect sys-
tem, the key fob protection described in "Preventing
Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry Key Fob In
Vehicle" remains active/functional.
The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key
fob battery is depleted
page 302.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS —
IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic Door Lock feature default condition is
enabled. When enabled, the door locks will lock auto-
matically when the vehicle's speed exceeds 15 mph
(24 km/h). The Automatic Door Lock feature can be
enabled or disabled by an authorized dealer per written
request of the customer. Please see an authorized
dealer for service.
CHILD-PROTECTION DOOR LOCK
SYSTEM — REAR DOORS
To provide a safer environment for small children riding
in the rear seats, the rear doors are equipped with a
Child-Protection Door Lock system.
To use the system, open each rear door, temporarily
remove the sealing plug for access, and use a flat-blade
screwdriver (or mechanical key) to rotate the dial to the
lock or unlock position.
Child-Protection Door Lock Location
NOTE:
When the Child-Protection Door Lock system is
engaged, the door can be opened only by using the
outside door handle, even though the inside door
lock is in the unlocked position.
After disengaging the Child-Protection Door Lock
system, always test the door from the inside to
make certain it is in the unlocked position.
After engaging the Child-Protection Door Lock sys-
tem, always test the door from the inside to make
certain it is in the locked position.
For emergency exit with the system engaged, move
the lock lever rearward (located on the door trim
panel), lower the window and open the door with the
outside door handle.
WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision.
Remember that the rear doors can only be opened
from the outside when the Child-Protection Door Lock
system is engaged (locked).
NOTE:
Always use this device when carrying children. After
engaging the child lock on both rear doors, check for
effective engagement by trying to open a door with the
internal handle. Once the Child-Protection Door Lock
system is engaged, it is impossible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the
vehicle, be sure to check that there is no one left
inside.
