NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
When the vehicle security alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will not
unlock the doors.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect
your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the vehicle security
alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will
turn the horn off after 29 seconds, five seconds between cycles, up to eight cycles if the trigger
remains active and the vehicle security alarm
will rearm itself.
TAMPER ALERT
If something has triggered the vehicle security
alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three
times and the exterior lights will blink three
times when you disarm the vehicle security
alarm. Check the vehicle for tampering.

the key fob is not inside the vehicle before
closing the door.
WARNING!
For personal security and safety in the
event of a collision, lock the vehicle doors
before you drive as well as when you park
and leave the vehicle.
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK or the
manual transmission into FIRST gear or
REVERSE, apply the parking brake, turn the
vehicle OFF, remove the key fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors, and lock your
vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition and lock your

POWER DOOR LOCKS
The power door lock switch is located on each
door trim panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock
the doors.
Power Door Lock Switch

The doors can also be locked and unlocked with
the Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry system.
Refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry” in
this section for further information.
If you push the power door lock switch while the
ignition is on, and either door is open, the power
locks will not operate. This prevents you from
accidentally locking the key fob in the vehicle.
Turning off the ignition or closing the door will
allow the locks to operate. If a door is open with
the ignition either placed in the ACC or ON/RUN
(engine not running) position, a chime will
sound as a reminder.
KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO — PASSIVE
E
NTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system and
a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go. This feature
allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s
door(s) without having to push the key fob lock
or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed on or off;
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.
If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has
been raining/snowing on the Passive Entry
door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower response time.
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry
and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will re-lock and if equipped will arm
the security alarm.
The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the vehicle Passive Entry system if it is
located next to a mobile phone, laptop or
other electronic device; these devices may
block the key fob’s wireless signal and
prevent the Passive Entry handle from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.

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.

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.
