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.
