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.

22GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock when
you grab hold of the front driver’s door handle,
depending on the selected setting in the Uconnect
system
Úpage 157.
All doors will unlock when the front passenger door
handle is grabbed regardless of the driver’s door
unlock preference setting.
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.
NOTE:On the third attempt ALL doors will lock and the key fob
can be locked in the vehicle.
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
With one of the vehicle’s key fobs within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
driver or passenger front door handle, push the door
handle lock button to lock all four doors and the liftgate.
Push The Door Handle Button To Lock
Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing the door
handle 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 unlocking.
If Passive Entry is disabled using the Uconnect
Settings, the key fob protection described in
"Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)" remains active/functional.
The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob
battery is depleted.
To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
The liftgate Passive Entry unlock feature is built into the
electronic liftgate release handle. With a valid Passive
Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the liftgate, push the
electronic liftgate release handle for a power open on
vehicles equipped with Power Liftgate. Pull the electronic
liftgate handle and lift for manual liftgate vehicles

Side Door Handle And Lock Functions
To keep your door operating properly, observe the
following guidelines:
Always open the door smoothly.
Avoid high impacts against the door stop when opening
the door. This is very important when your vehicle is
parked on an incline as the door will slide faster in the
downhill direction.

sliding door is fully opened. This latch will keep your
sliding door open on any incline. To close the sliding
door after the hold-open latch is activated, you must
rock the inside handle forward or pull outward on the
exterior handle.
Always make sure that the sliding door is fully latched
anytime the vehicle is in motion.
