General Information
You can unlock and lock the vehicle
without taking the keys out of your pocket
or purse when your passive key is within
3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle. Passive entry uses
a sensor on the back of the front door
handle for unlocking and a separate sensor
on the face of each door handle for locking.
The system does not function if:
• The vehicle battery has no charge.
• The key battery has no charge.
• The key frequencies have jammed.
Note: The system is available on the front
doors only.
Note: The system may not function if the
key is close to metal objects or electronic
devices, for example keys or a cell phone.
Note: If the system does not function, use
the key blade to lock and unlock your
vehicle. See
Remote Control (page 51).
Note: The system also unlocks and locks
the luggage compartment.
Unlocking Using Passive Entry With your passive key within
3 ft (1 m) of
your vehicle, touch the unlock sensor on
the back of the door handle for a brief
period and then pull on the door handle to
unlock, being careful not to touch the lock
sensor at the same time, or to pull the door
handle too quickly. The system requires a
brief delay to authenticate your passive
key.
