Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive
Entry RKE Transmitter In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry RKE transmitter inside your vehicle, the
Passive Entry system is equipped with an automatic
door unlock feature which will function if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel
switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors
have been closed the vehicle checks the inside and
outside of the vehicle for any valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitters. If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry RKE
transmitters is detected inside the vehicle, and no
other valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters are de-
tected outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and chirps the
horn three times (on the third attempt ALL doors will
lock and the Passive Entry RKE transmitter can be
locked in the vehicle).To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE transmit-
ters within 1.5 m of the driver or passenger front door
handle, press the door handle LOCK button to lock all
four doors and liftgate.
