Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry RKE
Key Fob In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry RKE 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.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel
switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors
have been closed the vehicle checks the inside and
outside of the vehicle for any valid Passive Entry RKE
Key Fobs. If one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE Key
Fobs is detected inside the vehicle, and no other valid
Passive Entry RKE Key Fobs are detected outside the
vehicle, the Passive Entry System automatically unlocks
all vehicle doors and chirps the horn three times (on the
third attempt ALL doors will lock and the Passive Entry
RKE Key Fob can be locked in the vehicle).
NOTE: The vehicle will only unlock the doors when the
doors are locked using the door panel switch, a valid
Passive Entry RKE Key Fob is detected inside the vehicle,
and no valid Passive Entry RKE Key Fob is detected
outside the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors
when any of the following conditions are true:
•
The doors are locked using the RKE Key Fob.
•
The doors are locked using the LOCK button on the
Passive Entry door handles.
•
The doors are manually locked using the door lock
knobs.
•
There is a valid Passive Entry RKE Key Fob outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive Entry
door handle.
•
Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the
door panel switch and then close the doors.
