OFF; refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” 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 af-
fected, resulting in a slower response
time.
• If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door is opened within 60 seconds,
the vehicle will re-lock and if equipped
will arm the security alarm.
