• 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 RH button
(on
the right lower part of the trunk lid)
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.
Since when the doors are locked, the
"Passive Entry" system waits for about
16 seconds before verifying if a key
fob RKE transmitter is present inside
the vehicle.

Trunk With the key fob within 3.3 ft (1 m) of
the trunk lid, press the button located
between the license plate lights, the
power trunk lid will automatically
open until it has reached its maximum

pressed again to stop it (for more
information, see chapter “Power Trunk
Lid 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 trunk lid
automatically.
