GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Licence exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
• This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation. WARNING: Changes or
modifications not expressively approved
by the party responsible for compliance

• Structures around the vehicle.
• Other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.
Other short distance radio transmissions,
for example amateur radios, medical
equipment, wireless headphones, remote
controls and alarm systems can also use
the radio frequency used by your remote
control. If the frequencies are jammed, you
will not be able to use your remote control.
You can lock and unlock the doors with the
key. Note:
Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.

WARNING: Do not open or close
the sliding doors when your hands are
near the tracks or rollers. When the rear doors are fully open, make
sure that you do not step on the cable or
mechanism at the base of the door
aperture. This could damage the sliding
door and its components.
KEYLESS ENTRY
General Information
The system will not function if:
•
The vehicle battery has no charge.
• The passive key battery has no charge.
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The door handle is not clean.
Note: If the system does not function, you
will need to use the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
The system allows you to operate your
vehicle without the use of a key or remote
control. Passive locking and unlocking requires a
valid passive key to be located within one
of the three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately
5 ft
(1.5 m) from the front door handles and
the liftgate.
Note: The system may not function if the
passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a cell
phone.
Passive Key
Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked
using the passive key. You can also use the
passive key as a remote control to lock and
unlock your vehicle. See
Locking and
Unlocking (page 66).
Locking Your Vehicle The locking sensors are on the front door
handles.
Touch a locking sensor once to lock your
vehicle and arm the alarm.

For vehicles with double locking, touch a
locking sensor twice within three seconds
to double lock your vehicle and arm the
alarm.
Note:
When locking your vehicle, do not
grip the door handle.
Note: Your vehicle remains locked for
approximately one second. When the delay
period is over, you can open the doors again,
provided the passive key is within the
respective detection range.
Note: Your vehicle does not automatically
lock. If you do not touch a locking sensor
your vehicle remains unlocked.
Two short flashes of the direction
indicators confirms that all the doors and
the liftgate have been locked and that the
alarm has been armed.
At the Liftgate
The liftgate cannot be closed and will
reopen if the passive key is located inside
the luggage compartment with the doors
locked.
Note: If a second valid passive key is
located within the liftgate detection range,
the liftgate can be closed.
Unlocking Your Vehicle Pull a front exterior door handle to unlock
and open the door. Do not touch the lock
sensor on the front of the handle.
One long flash of the direction indicators
confirms that all the doors and the liftgate
have been unlocked and that the alarm
has been disarmed. Note:
A valid passive key must be located
within the detection range of that door.
Unlocking Only the Driver's Door
You can program the system so that only
the driver door is unlocked. See Locking
and Unlocking (page 66).
If you program the unlocking function so
that only the driver door unlocks, the
following occurs:
• If the driver ’s door is the first door
which is opened, the other doors will
remain locked. All the other doors can
be unlocked from inside your vehicle
by pressing the unlock button located
on the driver's and front passenger's
door. You can unlock individual doors
by pulling the interior door handles on
those doors.
• If the front passenger's door is the first
door which is opened, all the doors and
the liftgate will be unlocked.
Disabled Keys
Any keys left inside your vehicle interior
when it is locked will be disabled.
You cannot use a disabled key to switch
the ignition on or start the engine.
You must enable all passive keys again in
order to use them. To enable all your
passive keys, unlock your vehicle using a
passive key that has not been disabled or
the remote control unlocking function. All
passive keys will then be enabled if you
switch the ignition on or you start your
vehicle with a valid key.
Note: You can still start your vehicle when
the passive key is in the back-up position.
