(Continued)
NOTE:Manually locking the vehicle will not arm the
Vehicle Security system.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
The power door lock switches are located on each
door trim panel. Push the switch to lock or unlock
the doors.
Power Door Lock Switch

If you push the power door lock switch while the
ignition is on, and either door is open, the power
locks will not operate. This prevents you from
accidentally locking the key fob in the vehicle. Turning off the ignition or closing the door will allow
the locks to operate.
NOTE:If the key fob is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop, or other electronic device, the wireless
signal may get blocked, and the driver’s door may
not unlock automatically.
If a door is open with the ignition either placed in
the ACC or ON/RUN (engine not running) position,
a chime will sound as a reminder.
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — PASSIVE
E
NTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s key fob 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
through Uconnect Settings Ú page 123.
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 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.
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the auto -
matic transmission into PARK or the manual
transmission into FIRST gear or REVERSE,
apply the parking brake, place the ignition in
the OFF position, remove the key fobs from
the vehicle and lock all doors, and lock your
vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the ignition and lock your vehicle.
Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may
cause severe personal injuries and death.
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 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 ignition of a vehicle equipped
with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ in the ACC or
ON/RUN position. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

VEHICLES WITHOUT PASSENGER
S
EATING INSTALLED
All passenger occupants within the vehicle must be
in a seat equipped with a Seat Belt System and
Head Restraint for the safety of the passenger. If
the passenger and/or rear seats have been
removed, do not ride in those areas. This vehicle has been designed to maximize total
performance. In doing so, the deletion of
passenger seats and/or rear seat may affect the
Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH)
characteristics. As a result, the interior will be
louder overall.
WARNING!
If the passenger and/or rear seats have been
removed, do not ride in those areas. In a colli
-
sion, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
If this vehicle was not factory equipped with a
passenger seat, NEVER attempt to install a
passenger seat because the safety systems,
including the air bags and seat belt, may not
properly protect you.
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside
or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in this area are more likely to be seri -
ously injured or killed.
Only ride in available seating positions
equipped with seat belt systems. Always prop -
erly wear your seat belt. Failure to do so could
result in an increased risk of serious injury or
death in the event of an accident.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly. Occupants,
including the driver, should always wear their
seat belts whether or not an air bag is also
provided at their seating positions to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
All occupants, including the driver, should not
operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat if the
head restraints are not in place of their proper
positions in order to minimize the risk of neck
injury in the event of a crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle
with the head restraints improperly adjusted
or removed could cause serious injury or
death in the event of a collision.
