To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m)
of the driver door handle, grab the front driver
door handle to unlock the driver's door
automatically. The interior door panel lock knob
will raise when the door is unlocked.
Upon unlocking the door with Passive Entry, the
turn signals will flash twice, and the low beams,
license plate lamp, and position lamps can be
set to illuminate for 0, 30 (default), 60, or
90 seconds.

Grab The Door Handle To Unlock

NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is programmed,
all doors will unlock when you grab hold of the
front driver’s door handle. To select between “Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” and “Unlock All
Doors 1st Press,” refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.
To Unlock From The Passenger Side:
With a Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m)
of the passenger door handle, grab the front
passenger door handle to unlock both doors
automatically. The interior door panel lock knob
will raise when the door is unlocked.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when the front passenger
door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting (“Unlock
Driver Door 1st Press” or “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry
Key Fob In Vehicle (FOBIK-Safe)
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 in the OFF position.
FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with
Passive Entry. There are three situations that
trigger a FOBIK-Safe search in any Passive Entry
vehicle.
1. A lock request is made by a valid Passive
Entry key fob while a door is open.

2. A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door handle while a door is open.
3. A lock request is made by the door panel switch while the door is open.
When any of these situations occur, after all
open doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will
be executed. If it finds a Passive Entry key fob
inside the car, and it does not find any Passive
Entry key fobs outside the car, the car will
unlock and alert the customer.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a
valid Passive Entry key fob is detected inside
the vehicle, and no valid Passive Entry key fob is
detected outside the vehicle. The vehicle will
not unlock the doors when any of the following
conditions are true:
The doors are manually locked using the door
lock knobs.
There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside
the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either
Passive Entry door handle.

20_LA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 26

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE27
Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch and then the
doors are closed.
To Enter The Trunk:
With a Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m)
of the deck lid, push the button located on the
center of the light bar which is located on the
deck lid above the license plate.

Trunk Passive Entry Button

NOTE:
If you inadvertently leave your vehicle's Passive
Entry key fob in the trunk and try to close the
deck lid, the deck lid will automatically unlatch,
unless another one of the vehicle’s Passive
Entry key fobs is outside the vehicle and within
5 ft (1.5 m) of the deck lid. 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 both doors.

Push The Door Handle Button To Lock

Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing the
door handle button. This could unlock the
door(s).
Do NOT Grab The Handle When Locking

NOTE:
After pushing the door handle button, you
must wait two seconds before you can lock or
unlock the doors, using either Passive 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 depleted.
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.

are left folded for an extended period of time.
This is normal and, by simply opening the seats
to the open position, over time the seat cushion
will return to its normal shape.
Folding Rear Seatback Loop Locations Folded Rear Seat

When the seatback is folded to the upright
position, make sure it is latched by strongly

the shoulder belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision you could slide under
the seat belt, which could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position, the seat will
not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.

PASSENGER SEAT EASY ENTRY
On the passenger seat, pull forward on the lever
located on the side of the seatback in order to
dump the seatback and slide the seat forward.
You can also temporarily remove the seat belt
from the guide loop on the seat and allow the
seat belt to retract out of the way. This allows for easier access to the rear seat. To
return the seat to a normal seating position,
first return the seatback to its original recline
location and then slide the entire seat back to
the pre-set lock position.

Easy Entry Lever

NOTE:
The front passenger seat needs to slide back
to a pre-set position for the fore-aft adjuster
to be properly locked. For example, if the
front passenger has the seat adjusted full
rear and exits the vehicle to let a rear
passenger enter using the easy entry handle,
the fore-aft adjuster needs to slide back
about 2/3 of the way rearward to hit the lock
position. If the adjuster is not returned to this
pre-set position, the seat will appear to be
loose.
Also, if the front passenger uses the easy
entry handle and then lifts up the recliner
handle without moving the seat back to its
original pre-set position, the recliner will not
lock until it is moved to the full recline
position.
Driver’s Side Easy Entry
The easy entry lever on the outboard side of the
driver’s seatback will dump the seatback
forward to allow for easier access to the rear
seats. The seat bottom will not slide forward as
the passenger side easy entry will. If needed,
use the driver’s side seat control to slide
forward.
To return the seat to the normal position, push
the seatback up and it will lock into the
previously set recline position. Then if needed,
use the seat control to adjust the forward/
rearward position.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear impact. Head restraints should
be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint
is located above the top of your ear.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly. Occupants,
including the driver, should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an air bag is
also provided at their seating positions to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash.
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s
seat if the head restraints are not in place
of their proper positions in order to mini -
mize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.
