Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry Key Fob
In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry key fob inside your vehicle, the Passive Entry
system is equipped with an automatic door unlock feature,
which will function if the ignition is OFF.
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 key fob. If one of the
vehicle’s Passive Entry key fob is detected inside the vehicle,
and no other valid Passive Entry key fob are detected 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 key fob
can be locked in the vehicle).
To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
The liftgate passive entry unlock feature is built into the
electronic liftgate handle. With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the liftgate, pull the electronic
liftgate handle for a power open on vehicles equipped with
Power Liftgate. Pull the electronic liftgate handle and lift
for Manual Liftgate vehicles.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is unlocked, the liftgate will open
with the handle and no key fob is required.

WINDOWS
Power Windows
The power window controlsare located on the
driver’s door trim panel. There is a single
switch on
the front passenger door and rear
passenger doors
which operate the front and rear passenger door win-
dows. The window controls will operate only when the
keyless push button ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
or ACC position.
The power window switches remain active for up to 10
minutes after the ignition has been turned OFF. Opening a
vehicle front door will cancel this feature.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do
not let children play with power windows. Do not
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not leave the ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unat-
tended children, can become entrapped by the win-
dows while operating the power window switches.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
Auto-Down
Both the driver and front passenger window switches have
an “Auto-Down” feature. Push the window
switch
past the first detent, release, and the window will go
down automatically. To cancel the “Auto-Down” move-
ment, operate the switch in either the up or down

together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting.
