Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive
Entry RKE Transmitter In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry RKE transmitter inside
your vehicle, the Passive Entry system is
equipped with an automatic door unlock fea-
ture, which will function if the ignition is OFF.
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 transmitters. If one
of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE transmitters
is detected inside the vehicle, and no other valid
Passive Entry RKE transmitters 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
transmitter can be locked in the vehicle).
To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
The liftgate passive entry unlock feature is built
into the electronic liftgate handle. With a valid
Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 3 ft (1.0 m)
of the liftgate, push the electronic liftgate handle
for a power open on vehicles equipped with
Power Liftgate. Push the electronic liftgate
handle and lift for Manual Liftgate vehicles.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is unlocked, the liftgate will
open with the handle and no RKE Transmit-
ter is required.
To Lock The Liftgate
With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter
within 3 ft (1.0 m) of the liftgate, push the
passive entry lock button located to the right of
electronic liftgate handle.
NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is pro-
grammed in Uconnect® Settings, all doors
will unlock when you push the button on the
liftgate. If
ⴖ
Unlock Driver Door 1st Press
ⴖ
is
programmed in Uconnect® Settings, the lift-
gate will unlock when you push the button
on the liftgate. For further information, refer
to “Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel.”
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE
transmitters within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or
passenger front door handle, push the door
