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 lamp, position
lamps) for the duration of 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 security system (if equipped).
 The sliding side doors can be unlocked from the
outside using the Passive Entry system.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side:

system
Úpage 105. 
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.
