To Disarm The System
The  vehicle  security  alarm  can  be  disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grasp  the  Passive  Entry  Unlock  Door
Handle.  Refer  to  "Keyless  Enter-N-Go"  in
“Doors”  in  this  chapter  for  further  infor-
mation.
Cycle  the  vehicle  ignition  system  out  of
the  OFF  position  by  pushing  the  Keyless
Enter-N-Go  START/STOP  ignition  button
(requires  at  least one  valid  key fob in  the
vehicle).
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the lift -
gate  button  on  the  key  fob  cannot  arm or
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
The vehicle security alarm remains armed
during  power  liftgate  entry.  Pushing  the
liftgate  button will not disarm the  vehicle
security  alarm.  If  someone  enters  the
vehicle through the liftgate and opens any
door the alarm will sound.
When the vehicle security alarm is armed,
the  interior  power  door  lock  switches  will
not unlock the doors.
The  ultrasonic  intrusion  sensor  (motion
detector)  actively  monitors  your  vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the security
system. To do so, push the lock button on
the key fob three times within 15 seconds
of  arming  the  system  (while  the  vehicle
security light is flashing rapidly).
The  vehicle  security  alarm  is  designed  to
protect your vehicle; however, you can avoid
conditions where the system may give you a
nuisance  alarm.  Conditions  include  any
person,  or  pet,  left  inside  the  vehicle  or
hanging items that may sway (e.g. from rear
view  mirrors,  visors,  etc).  Windows  and  roof
panels  should  be  closed  to  prevent  wind,
leaves,  and  other  debris  from  blowing  into
the vehicle. Items left in the vehicle that may
shift over a period of time (e.g. plastic bags,
clothes,  or  groceries),  could  result  in  a
nuisance alarm. Additionally,  extreme  environmental  condi
-
tions  (wind,  rain,  hail,  thunder,  etc.),  or
extreme noise  (audio  systems, traffic condi -
tions,  trains,  etc.),  or  direct  impacts  to  the
vehicle  may  result  in  a  nuisance  alarming
condition.
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.
Security System Manual Override
The system will not arm if you lock the doors
using the manual door lock.

DOORS 
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry (If 
Equipped) 
The  Passive  Entry  system  is  a  feature  that
allows  you  to  lock  and  unlock  the  vehicle’s
door(s)  and  swing  gate  without  having  to
push the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off.
Refer  to  “Uconnect  Settings”  in  “Multi-
media”  in  the Owner’s Manual for  further
information.
The  key  fob  may  not  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
interfere with the key fob’s wireless signal
and prevent the Passive Entry system from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.
Passive Entry Unlock initiates illuminated
approach  (Low  Beams,  License  Plate
Lamp, Position Lamps) for whichever time
duration is set between 0, 30 (default), 60
or 90 seconds. Passive  Entry Unlock  also
initiates  two  flashes  of  the  turn  signal
lamps.
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.
To Unlock From The Driver Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver's door handle, grab the
front driver door handle to unlock the driver's
door automatically. Grab The Door Handle To Unlock
NOTE:
If  “1st  Press  Of  Key  Fob  Unlock”  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”  in  the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
To Unlock From The Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m)  of  the  passenger  door  handle,  grab
the front passenger door handle to unlock all
doors and the swing gate automatically.
 CAUTION!
Careless  handling  and  storage  of  the
removable  door  panels  may  damage  the
seals,  causing  water  to  leak  into  the
vehicle’s interior.

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  only  if  the  igni-
tion switch 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:
A lock request  is made by a  valid Passive
Entry key fob while a door is open.
A  lock  request  is  made  by  the  Passive
Entry door handle while a door is open.
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, the car will unlock and
alert  the  customer.  If  Passive  Entry  is
disabled  using  Uconnect  System,  the  key
protection described in "Preventing Inadver
-
tent  Locking  of  Passive  Entry  Key  Fob  in
Vehicle" remains active/functional.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors during
a FOBIK-Safe operation when a valid Passive
Entry key fob is detected inside the vehicle.
The  vehicle  will  not  unlock  the  doors  when
any of the following conditions are true: 
A  second  valid  Passive  Entry  key  fob  is
detected outside of the vehicle (within 5ft
of a Passive Entry door handle).
The  doors  are  manually  locked  using  the
door lock knobs.
Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch and then close
the doors.
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Swing Gate
With  one  of  the  vehicle’s  Passive  Entry  key
fobs  within  5 ft  (1.5 m)  of  the  driver  or
passenger  front  door  handles,  pushing  the
Passive  Entry  lock  button  will  lock  the
vehicle doors and the swing gate. Push The Door Handle Button To Lock
NOTE:
DO NOT grab the door handle, when pushing
the  door  handle  lock  button.  This  could
unlock the door(s).
