DOOR LOCKS
Manual Door Locks
The power door locks can be manually locked from inside
the vehicle by using the door lock knob. To lock each door,
push the door lock knob on each door trim panel down-
ward. To unlock the front doors, pull the inside door
handle to the first detent. For Police vehicle, both rear
passenger doors are inoperable from the rear seat position,
inside of the vehicle. If the lock knob is down when the
door is closed, the door will lock. Therefore, make sure the
key is not inside the vehicle before closing the door.
WARNING!
•For personal security and safety in the event of an
collision, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as well
as when you park and leave the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear
selector.
• 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. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

Power Door Locks
The power door lock switchesare located on each
front door panel. Push the switch to lock
or unlock
the doors.
If the door lock switch is pushed down when the door is
closed, the door will lock. Therefore, make sure the key fob
is not inside the vehicle before closing the door.
If the door lock switch is pushed while the ignition is in
ACC or ON/RUN and the driver’s door is open, the doors
will not lock. If a rear door is locked, it cannot be opened from inside the
vehicle without first unlocking the door. The door may be
unlocked manually by raising the lock knob.
Automatic Unlock On Exit Feature — If Equipped
If Auto Unlock is enabled, this feature will unlock all the
doors when any door is opened if the vehicle is stopped
and in PARK. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO — PASSIVE ENTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehi-
cle’s Remote Keyless Entry system. This feature allows you
to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
push the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
•
Passive Entry may be programmed ON/OFF. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” in your Owner ’s Manual on DVD for further
information.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been raining
on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock sensitivity
can be affected, resulting in a slower response time.
