FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with Passive Entry.
There are three situations that trigger a FOBIK-Safe search
in any Passive Entry vehicle:
•A lock request is made by a valid key fob while a door
is open.
• A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door handle
while a door is open.
• A lock request is made by the door panel switch while
the door is open.
When any of these situations occur, after all open doors are
shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it finds a
key fob inside the car, and it does not find any key fob
outside the car, then the car will unlock and alert the
customer.
NOTE: The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid
key fob is detected inside the vehicle, and no valid key fob
is detected outside the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock
the doors when any of the following conditions are met:
• The doors are manually locked using the door lock
knobs. •
There is a valid key fob outside the vehicle and within 5
ft (1.5 m) of either Passive Entry door handle.
• Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the
door panel switch and then close the doors.
NOTE: On the third attempt ALL doors will lock and the
key fob can be locked in the vehicle.
To Enter The Liftgate
With a valid key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the liftgate, cycle
the handle to open the liftgate and pull the liftgate open
with one fluid motion.
NOTE: If “Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” is programmed,
only the liftgate will unlock when the liftgate release
handle is pulled. If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is pro-
grammed, all doors and the liftgate will unlock when the
liftgate release handle is pulled. To select between “Unlock
Driver Door 1st Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st Press,”
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further
information.

To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors
With one of the vehicle’s key fobs within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
driver or passenger front door handle, push the door
handle lock button to lock all four doors and the liftgate.
Do NOT grab the door handle, when pushing the door
handle button. This could unlock the door(s).NOTE:
•
After pushing the door handle button, you must wait
two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors,
using either Passive Entry door handle. This is done to
allow you to check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the
door handle, without the vehicle reacting and unlocking.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob
battery is dead.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the key fob
lock button, or the lock button located on the vehicle’s
interior door panel.
