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

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

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.

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
