Keyless Access Operation
Some vehicles have the keyless
access system that lets you lock
and unlock the doors and access
the liftgate without removing the
remote transmitter from your pocket,
purse, briefcase, etc. The keyless
entry transmitter must be within 1 m
(3 ft) of the door being opened.
If the vehicle has this feature, there
will be a body colored touch pad on
the outside front door handles.
Keyless Unlocking
With the transmitter within 1 m (3 ft),
approach the front door and pull the
handle. If the transmitter is
recognized, the door will unlock
and open.
Entering any door other than the
driver door will always cause all of
the doors to unlock. This is not
customizable.To customize which doors unlock
when the driver
’s door is opened,
see “Passive Unlock” underVehicle
Personalization on page 5‑40.
Keyless Locking
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this feature allows
you to select whether the doors
automatically lock during normal
vehicle exit. When the vehicle is
turned off and all doors become
closed, the vehicle will determine
how many keyless access
transmitters remain in the vehicle
interior. If at least one keyless
access transmitter has been
removed from the interior of the
vehicle, the doors will lock after
eight seconds.
If there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and one
is removed, the other will be locked
in. A person approaching the outside of the locked vehicle without
an authorized keyless access
transmitter will not be able to open
the door, even with the transmitter in
the vehicle.
You may temporarily disable the
keyless locking feature by pressing
and holding the power door unlock
button on the instrument panel for
several seconds with a door open.
Keyless locking will then remain
disabled until the door lock switch is
pressed, or until the vehicle is
turned on.
To customize whether the doors
automatically lock when you exit the
vehicle, see
