The driver’s door will unlock automatically if the key fob is
detected inside the vehicle when the door lock button on
the front door panel is used to lock the door, then the door
is closed. The horn will also chirp to alert the driver. This
will occur for two attempts. On the third attempt, the doors
will lock even if the key fob is inside.

other electronic device, the wireless signal may get
blocked, and the driver’s door may not unlock
automatically. If the door lock switch is pushed while the ignition is in

lock.

trim panel. Push the lock button to lock the rear door or
push the unlock button to unlock the rear door.

will deploy when any of the doors are opened, and they will
retract when the doors are closed. This mode can be
turned on or off in the Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
NOTE:

When enabled within Uconnect Settings, the Power
Side Steps can also be manually extended or retracted
by pressing the Power Side Step button on the Controls
menu of the Vehicle screen.

will retract.
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ —
P
ASSIVE ENTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the
vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system 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.
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.
 When exiting the vehicle, always make sure the
ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob
from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be seri -
ously 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 ON/RUN
position. A child could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

If equipped, the rear doors will also have Passive Entry
capabilities.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off through
Uconnect Settings Úpage 197.
 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.
 Passive Entry Unlock initiates illuminated approach
(low beams, license plate lamp, parking lights, door
handle pocket lights [if equipped]) for whichever dura -
tion is set between 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Passive
Entry Unlock also initiates two flashes of the turn
signals.
 If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing, or if
there is salt/dirt covering the Passive Entry door
handle, the unlock and lock sensitivity can be affected,
resulting in a slower response time.
 The doors may lock and 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.
 Passive Entry lock initiates one horn chirp and one
flash of turn signals. These settings can be
programmed on/off within Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
 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). To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry 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
door automatically. Grabbing the front passenger door
handle (or a rear handle when equipped with four-door
Passive Entry) will unlock all doors and the liftgate
automatically.

Grab The Door Handle To Unlock

NOTE:
 Either the driver’s 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 197.
 All doors will unlock when the front passenger (or a rear
door when equipped with four-door Passive Entry) 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
Passive Entry key fob inside your vehicle, the Passive Entry
system is equipped with an automatic door unlock feature
which will function if the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.
There are five situations that trigger a FOBIK-Safe search
in any Passive Entry vehicle:

A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry 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 the Vehicle Security system is in pre-arm or
armed status and the liftgate transitions from opened
to closed.
 When the liftgate transitions from open to closed and
Remote Start is active.
When any of these situations occur, after all open doors
are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it
detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle, the
vehicle will unlock and alert the customer.
