Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry RKE
Transmitter In Vehicle (FOBIK-Safe)
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.
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 RKE
transmitter 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 RKE transmitter inside the car, and it does
not find any Passive Entry RKE transmitters 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 RKE transmitter is detected inside the
vehicle, and no valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter 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 RKE transmitter outside
the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive
Entry door handle.
