VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors for
unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for
unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the
interior switches for door locks, power sliding doors and
power liftgate are disabled. The Vehicle Security system
provides both audible and visible signals. If something
triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security system will provide
the following audible and visible signals: the horn will
pulse, the parking lights and/or turn signals will flash, and
the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will
flash.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF
position.

 For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ —
Passive Entry, make sure the vehicle ignition
system is OFF.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
 Push lock on the interior power door lock switch
with the driver and/or passenger door open.
 Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry
door handle with a valid key fob available in the
same exterior zone
Úpage 21.
 Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:
 Push the unlock button on the key fob.
 Grab the Passive Entry door handle (if equipped)
Úpage 21.
 Hands-Free Liftgate Passive Entry activation (if
equipped).
 Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF
position.
 For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ —
Passive Entry, push the START/STOP ignition
button (requires at least one valid key fob in the
vehicle).
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate button on
the key fob cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security
system.
 The Vehicle Security system remains armed during
power liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate button will not
disarm the Vehicle Security system. If someone enters
the vehicle through the liftgate and opens any door, the
alarm will sound.
 When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors. The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle
Security system will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm and no action is taken to
disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will turn the horn off
after a 29 second cycle (with five seconds between cycles
and up to 8 cycles if the trigger remains active) and then
rearm itself.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The Vehicle Security system will not arm if you lock the
doors using the manual door lock.

POWER DOOR LOCKS — IF EQUIPPED
A power door lock switch is on each front door trim panel.
Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors.

Driver Power Door Lock Switches

If you push the power door lock switch while the ignition is
in the ACC or ON/RUN position, and any front door is open,
the power locks will not operate. This prevents you from
accidentally locking your key fob in the vehicle. Placing the
ignition in the OFF position or closing the door will allow
the locks 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 Úpage 157.
 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.
 If set by the customer in the Uconnect Settings,
unlocking with Passive Entry will initiate illuminated
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, if it has been raining/snowing, or
there is salt/dirt covering the Passive Entry door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting
in a slower response time.
 The doors may unlock when water is sprayed on the
Passive Entry door handles, if the key fob is located
outside of the vehicle within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the handle. 
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 system.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side:
With a valid key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the door handle,
grab the handle to unlock the vehicle. Grabbing the
driver’s door handle will unlock the driver’s side doors
(driver/sliding door) automatically. Grabbing the front
passenger door handle will unlock all four doors and the
liftgate automatically. The interior door panel lock knob
will rotate when the door is unlocked.
