DOORS
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 —
Passive Entry. This feature allows you to lock
and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and fuel
door 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” 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 inter-
fere 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's 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 “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 “Multi

All Doors 1st Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive
Entry Key Fob In Vehicle (FOBIK-Safe)

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.

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 vehicle and it does not find
any Passive Entry key fobs outside the
vehicle, then the vehicle will unlock and alert
the customer.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors 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:
The doors are manually locked using the
door lock knobs.
There is a valid Passive Entry key fob
outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive Entry door handle.
Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch and then close
the doors.

can only be opened from the outside when
the Child-Protection locks are engaged
(locked).
