•
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and

KEYLESS ENTRY
General Information
The system will not function if:
•
The vehicle battery has no charge.
• The passive key battery has no charge.
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The door handle is not clean.
Note: If the system does not function, you
will need to use the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
The system allows you to operate your
vehicle without the use of a key or remote
control. Passive locking and unlocking requires a
valid passive key to be located within one
of the three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately 5 ft
(1.5 m) from the front door handles and
the liftgate.
Note: The system may not function if the
passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a cell
phone. Passive Key
Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked
using the passive key. You can also use the
passive key as a remote control to lock and
unlock your vehicle. See

handles.

vehicle and arm the alarm.

locking sensor twice within three seconds
to double lock your vehicle and arm the
alarm.

approximately one second. When the delay
period is over, you can open the doors again,
provided the passive key is within the
respective detection range.

lock. If you do not touch a locking sensor
your vehicle remains unlocked.

indicators confirms that all the doors and
the liftgate have been locked and that the
alarm has been armed.

reopen if the passive key is located inside
the luggage compartment with the doors
locked.
