and
K
on the RKE transmitter at the
same time for approximately
three seconds. The turn signal lamps

Enabling Keyless Unlocking:
With the vehicle off, press and hold
Q
and
K
on the RKE transmitter at the
same time for approximately
three seconds. The turn signal lamps

Passive Locking
Keyless Access will lock the vehicle
several seconds after all doors are
closed, if the vehicle is off and at least
one RKE transmitter has been
removed from the interior, or none
remain in the interior.
If other electronic devices interfere
with the RKE transmitter signal, the
vehicle may not detect the RKE
transmitter inside the vehicle.
If passive locking is enabled, the doors
may lock with the RKE transmitter
inside the vehicle. Do not leave the
RKE transmitter in an unattended
vehicle.
To customize the doors to
automatically lock when exiting the
vehicle, see

vehicle is turned on.
