Power Door Locks — If Equipped
The power door lock switches are on each front
door trim panel. Use these switches to lock or
unlock the doors.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the vehicle Keyless Enter-N-Go 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
Keyless Enter-N-Go system from starting the
vehicle.
Power Door Lock Switches

While in the ACC or ON/RUN positions, if you
push the power door lock switch, and any front
door is open, the power locks will not operate.
This prevents you from accidentally locking your
key fob in the vehicle. Removing the key fob or
closing the door will allow the locks to operate.
A chime will sound if the key fob is in the vehicle
and a door is open, as a reminder to remove the
key fob.
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry
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/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 vehicles security alarm can be armed/
disarmed by pushing the Passive Entry key
fob lock/unlock buttons (if equipped).
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 door handle from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.
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.

To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver door handle, grab the front
driver door handle to unlock the driver's door
automatically. The interior door panel lock knob
will raise when the door is unlocked.

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. 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
automatically. The interior door panel lock knob
will raise when the door is unlocked.
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:
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 switch is in the OFF
position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door
panel switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all
open doors have been closed the vehicle
checks the inside and outside of the vehicle for
any valid Passive Entry key fobs. If one of the
vehicle's Passive Entry key fobs is detected inside the vehicle, and no other valid Passive
Entry key fobs are detected outside the vehicle,
the Passive Entry System automatically unlocks
all vehicle doors and chirps the horn three times
(on the third attempt ALL doors will lock and the
Passive Entry key fob can be locked in the
vehicle).
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 all doors.

Push The Door Handle Button To Lock

Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing the
door handle lock button. This could unlock the
door(s).

Do NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking

NOTE:
After pushing the door handle lock 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 depends on a key
fob that is not fully discharged of its coin
battery capacity.
The LED light on the key fob will not blink if
the key fob battery is low or fully depleted,
but a low key fob battery condition will still
support the Passive Entry system function -
ality. When the key fob battery is low, the
instrument cluster will display a message
indicating that the key fob battery is low.
Refer to “Keys” in this chapter for further
information.
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.
