Passive Entry — If
Equipped
The Passive Entry system can identify
the presence of a key fob near the
doors and trunk lid.
The system enables the doors and trunk
lid to be locked or unlocked without
pushing any button on the key fob.
The key fob is detected only after the
system recognizes the presence of a
hand on one of the front door handles.
If the detected key fob is valid, the
doors and the trunk lid are unlocked
(refer to the Connect Supplement for
Passive Entry Settings).
Note: The key fob may not be found if
it is located next to a mobile phone, lap
top or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal.
Grasping the handle of the driver's door
unlocks the driver's side door, or all
doors depending on the mode set
using the Connect system (refer to the
Connect Supplement for Passive Entry
Settings). Note:
If wearing gloves, or if it has rained and
the door handle is wet, the activation
sensitivity of the Passive Entry function
may be reduced, resulting in a longer
reaction time.

1. Make sure that you have the key fob
and are close to the driver’s or
passenger’s side door handle.
2. Push the Passive Entry door handle
button or the Passive Entry trunk lid
button, which is located next to the
external trunk lid release button. This
will lock all doors and the trunk lid. Door
locking will activate the alarm as well.
Note:
After pushing the Passive Entry door
handle button, you must wait two
seconds before the doors can be
unlocked again using the passive entry
door handle button. This feature makes
it possible to check whether the vehicle
has been locked correctly by pulling the
door handle within two seconds. The
doors will not be unlocked again.
The vehicle doors and trunk lid can be
locked by pushing the lock button on
the key fob or on the interior door lock.
