KEYLESS ENTER-N-
GO™
The Passive Entry system is an en-
hancement to the vehicle’s Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system and a
feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go™.
This feature allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle’s door(s) without
having to press the RKE transmitter
lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be pro-
grammed ON/OFF; refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Fea-
tures)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further
information.
If a Passive Entry door handle has not been used for an ex-
tended period of time, the Pas-
sive Entry feature for the handle
may time out. Pulling the deac-
tivated front door handle will
reactivate the door handle's
Passive Entry feature.
If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been raining on the
Passive Entry door handle, the
unlock sensitivity can be af-
fected, resulting in a slower re-
sponse time.
If you unlock the doors using the Passive Entry door handles, but
do NOT pull the handle, the
doors will automatically lock af-
ter 60 seconds.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.5 m of the driv-
er's door handle, grab the driver's
24
front door handle to unlock the driv-
er's door automatically. The interior
door panel lock knob will raise when
the door is unlocked.
NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press” is programmed all doors will
unlock when you grab hold of the
driver’s front door handle. To select
between “Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press”, refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)/
Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
To Unlock From The Passenger
Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.5 m of the pas-
senger door handle, grab the front
passenger door handle to unlock all
four doors automatically. The interior
door panel lock knob will raise when
the door is unlocked.
NOTE: All doors will unlock
when the front passenger door
handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference
setting (“Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” or “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of
Passive Entry RKE Transmitter In
Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unin-
tentionally locking a Passive Entry
RKE transmitter inside your vehicle,
the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock fea-
ture which will function if there is no
Key Fob present in the ignition. 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 in-
side 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 detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry
System automatically unlocks all ve-
hicle 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 Enter The Liftgate
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.5 m of the lift-
gate, cycle the handle to open the
liftgate and pull the liftgate open with
one fluid motion.
NOTE: All doors will remain
locked when the liftgate release
handle is pressed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference
setting (“Unlock Driver Door 1st

first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
