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 switch is in the
OFF position.
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 fobs. If
one of the vehicle's Passive Entry key fobs is
detected inside the vehicle, and no other
valid Passive Entry key fobs 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 Lock The Vehicle’s Doors:
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key
fobs within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or
passenger front door handles, push the door
handle lock button to lock all doors.Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing
the door handle lock button. This could un-
lock the door(s).NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle lock button,
you must wait two seconds before you can
lock or unlock the doors, using either Pas-
sive 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.
