feature allows you to lock and unlock
the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
press the key fob RKE transmitter lock
or unlock buttons.

to on/off; see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
• If wearing gloves, or if it has been
raining on the “Passive Entry” door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower
response time.
• Access to the vehicle using “Passive
Entry” system may not work properly
in case of interference caused by
external sources such as metal
objects, mobile phones, overhead
power lines, antennas, etc. In these
cases, use the buttons of the key fob
RKE transmitter to open and close
the vehicle or the emergency key,
inserting it into the driver side door
lock.
• The “Passive Entry” system does not
lock and unlock the doors directly and immediately but with a slight
delay (about 2 seconds).

preference setting (“Driver Door” or
“All Doors”). Preventing Inadvertent Locking
of the Key fob RKE Transmitter
inside the Vehicle To minimize the possibility of
unintentionally locking a key fob RKE
transmitter 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 system checks
the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid key fobs RKE transmitter.
If one of the vehicle's key fobs RKE
transmitters is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid key fobs
RKE transmitters are detected outside
the vehicle, the “Passive Entry” system
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors
and chirps the horn fourteen times (on
the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will
lock and the key fob RKE transmitter
will be locked in the vehicle). This will
happen even when pressing the lower
button on the outer edge of the
left trunk compartment lining to close
and lock the power liftgate. NOTE:
The vehicle unlocks the doors under
any of the following conditions:
• the doors are manually locked using
the door lock knob positioned on
the door panel;
• there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter inside the vehicle;
• there is not a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle.
NOTE:
The vehicle will not unlock the doors
under any of the following conditions:
• the doors are locked using the key

• there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle and
within 3.3 ft (1 m) of either “Passive
Entry” door handle;
• fifteen attempts are made to lock
the doors using the door panel
switch and/or the lower
button
(on the outer edge of the left trunk
compartment) and then close the
doors. If the key fob RKE transmitter is inside
the passenger compartment and one
of the doors locked only to the first
detent of lock pawl (hence it is not
fully closed), when the vehicle lock
function with alarm system for trunk
lid and doors is being activated by
means of RH button
at the bottom
of the trunk lid, said function will be
activated all the same.
In this condition, any attempt to duly
close the door that is partially open
will cancel vehicle lock and alarm
system arming thus leaving vehicle
unlocked.

(for more information, see chapter
“Power Liftgate Operation” in this
section).
If the vehicle had already been
unlocked through key fob or “Passive
Entry”, the presence of the key fob is
not required; simply use the button
located between the license plate lights to open the power liftgate
automatically.
