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 is OFF.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the vehicle is locked
with a door panel switch, key fob button or door handle
button, 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).
