KEYLESS ENTER-N-
GO™
The Passive Entry system is an en-
hancement to the vehicle’s Remote

“Uconnect® Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument

Passive Entry door handle, the
unlock sensitivity can be af-
fected, resulting in a slower re-
sponse time.

onds, the vehicle will re-lock
and if equipped will arm the
theft alarm. To Unlock From The Driver's Side
