Passive Door Locking:This
option allows you to select whether
the doors automatically lock during
normal vehicle exit. When the
ignition is turned off and all doors
become closed, the vehicle will
determine how many RKE
transmitters remain in the vehicle
interior. If at least one RKE
transmitter has been removed from
the interior of the vehicle, the doors
will lock after a short delay.
For example, if there are two RKE
transmitters in the vehicle and one
is removed, the other will be locked in. The RKE transmitter locked in
the vehicle can still be used to start
the vehicle or unlock the doors,
if needed. A person approaching the
outside of the locked vehicle without
an authorized RKE transmitter,
however, will not be able to open
the door, even with a transmitter in
the vehicle.
You may temporarily disable the
passive door locking feature by
pressing the door unlock switch for
three seconds on an open door.
Passive door locking will then
remain disabled until a door lock
switch is pressed or until the power
mode transitions from the off
power mode.

on the display, then press the
RESET button to scroll through the
following modes:

.SILENT
.HORNIf you choose OFF, this option will
turn off.
If you choose SILENT, the doors will
automatically lock a short time after
you remove a RKE transmitter from
the interior of the vehicle and close
both doors.
If you choose HORN, the doors will
automatically lock and the horn will
sound a short time after you remove
a RKE transmitter from the interior
of the vehicle and close both doors.
If you are parking in a quiet area
and do not want the horn to sound
when the doors lock, press the lock
button on the RKE transmitter
immediately after removing it from
the interior and closing the doors.
This will lock the doors and cancel
the passive locking for this ignition
cycle.
When the mode you want is
selected, press the OPTION button
to set your choice and advance to
the next personal option.
