Keyless Unlocking/Locking from
the Passenger Doors
When the doors are locked and the
RKE transmitter is within range of
the door handle, pressing the lock/
unlock button on a passenger door
handle will unlock all doors.
Pressing the lock/unlock button will
cause all doors to lock if any of the
following occur:
.The lock/unlock button was used
to unlock all doors.
.Any vehicle door has been
opened and all doors are now
closed.
Passive Locking
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this feature allows
for selecting whether the doors
automatically lock during normal
vehicle exit. When the vehicle is
turned off and all doors are 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 eight seconds.
Temporarily disable the locking
feature by pressing and holding the
power door
Kswitch for several
seconds with a door open. Passive
locking will then remain disabled
until the power door
Qswitch is
pressed, or until the vehicle is
turned on.
To customize whether the doors
automatically lock when exiting the
vehicle, see “Remote Lock, Unlock,
Start” under Vehicle Personalization
on page 5‑44.
Keyless Trunk Opening
Press the touch pad on the rear of
the trunk above the license plate to
open the trunk when the RKE
transmitter is in range.
Keyed Access
For accessing a vehicle with a dead
transmitter battery, see Door Locks
on page 2‑10.
Programming Transmitters to
the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed
to the vehicle will work. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased and
programmed through your dealer.
The vehicle can be reprogrammed
so that lost or stolen transmitters no
longer work. Each vehicle can have
up to eight transmitters matched
to it.
Programming with a Recognized
Transmitter (Keyless Access
Vehicles Only)
A new transmitter can be
programmed to the vehicle when
there is one recognized transmitter.
To program, the vehicle must be off
and all of the transmitters, both
currently recognized and new, must
be with you.
