procedure is carried out, operating the internal
handle will not open the door. Instead, it will only
realign the lock release device. To open the door,
the outside handle must be used. The door
central locking/unlocking buttons are not deacti -

The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s key fob. This feature allows you to
lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and trunk lid
without having to push the key fob lock or unlock
buttons.
NOTE:

Passive Entry may be programmed on/off
through the radio screen. Refer to the
Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual Supplement for Passive Entry
settings.

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
system from locking/unlocking the vehicle.

If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/
snowing on the Passive Entry door handle, the
unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in
a slower response time.

If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and
no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will relock and (if equipped) will arm
the Vehicle Security system.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob close to the
door handle, grab the handle to unlock the
vehicle. Grabbing the driver’s door handle will
unlock the driver door automatically. Grabbing
the passenger door handle will unlock all doors
and the trunk lid automatically.
Passive Entry Door Handle
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 radio. Refer to the Information
and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement for Passive Entry settings.

All doors will unlock when the front passenger
door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting.

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.
The vehicle will not unlock the doors if an
unauthorized key fob has been detected close to
the outside of the vehicle.
If the Passive Entry function is disabled through
the radio screen, the protections to avoid
accidentally leaving the key fob inside the vehicle
are deactivated.
