FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with Passive
Entry. There are three situations that trigger a FOBIK-
Safe search in any Passive Entry vehicle:
•A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry key
fob while a door is ajar.
• A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door
handle while a door is ajar.
• A lock request is made by the door panel switch
while the door is ajar.
When any of these situations occur, after all ajar doors
are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it
finds a Passive Entry key fob inside the car, and it does
not find any Passive Entry key fobs outside the car, then
the car will unlock and alert the customer. NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a
valid Passive Entry key fob is detected inside the
vehicle, and no valid Passive Entry key fob is detected
outside the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the
doors when any of the following conditions are met:
• The doors are manually locked using the door lock
knobs.
• There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive Entry
door handle.
Emergency Unlocking Driver Door
If the Remote Keyless Entry key fob battery is low or
dead, the emergency key can be used to unlock the
driver side door lock cylinder.
To release the emergency key, proceed as follows:
1. Slide the emergency key release button to the side.
