to operate. A chime will sound if the ignition is in
the ACC or ON/RUN position and a door is open, as
a reminder to place the ignition in the OFF position
and remove the key fob.KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — PASSIVE
E
NTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system. 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
through the Uconnect system Ú page 188.
The key fob may not be detected by the 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 handle from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.
WARNING!
For personal security and safety in the event
of a collision, lock the vehicle doors before you
drive as well as when you park and leave the
vehicle.
Never use the PARK position as a substitute for
the parking brake. Always apply the parking
brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle
movement and possible injury or damage.
When exiting the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil -
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous
for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle,
or in a location accessible to children, and do
not leave the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in
the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.

If set by the customer in the Uconnect Settings,
unlocking with Passive Entry will initiate illumi -
nated approach (low beams, license plate light,
parking lights) for the time 0, 30, 60 or
90 seconds. Passive Entry also initiates
two flashes of the turn signals.
If wearing gloves, 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 relock and will arm the Vehicle
Security system (if equipped).
The sliding side doors can be unlocked from the
outside using the hands-free or Passive Entry

Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a key fob inside your vehicle, the Passive
Entry system is equipped with an automatic door
unlock feature. There are three situations that trigger a
FOBIK-Safe search in any Passive Entry vehicle:
A lock request is made by a valid 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 detects a key fob inside the car, and
it does not detect any key fob outside the car, then
the car 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, and no valid key fob is detected outside
the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors
when any of the following conditions are met:
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 the doors
are closed.
There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive
Entry door handle.
