POWER DOOR LOCKS —
IF EQUIPPED
The power door lock switch is located on each front
door panel. Push the switch forward to unlock the
doors, and rearward to lock the doors.
WARNING!
•
For personal security reasons and safety in a colli-
sion, lock the vehicle doors when you drive, as well
as when you park and exit the vehicle.
•
When exiting the vehicle, always place the ignition
in the OFF position and remove the key from the
vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment
may cause severe personal injuries and death.
•
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 oth-
ers could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.

WARNING!
•
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle or in
a location accessible to children. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ —
PASSIVE ENTRY (IF EQUIPPED)
The Passive Entry system is a feature that allows you to
lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and tailgate with-
out having to push the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
•
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off through
Uconnect Settings
page 181.
•
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle Pas-
sive Entry system if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop, or other electronic device; these
devices may interfere with the key fob’s wireless
signal and prevent the Passive Entry system from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.
•
Passive Entry Unlock initiates Headlight Illumination
On Approach (low beams, license plate lamp, park-
ing lights) for whichever duration is set within the
Uconnect Settings between 0, 30, 60 or 90 sec-
onds. Passive Entry Unlock also initiates two flashes
of the turn signal lights.
•
If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/snowing
on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock sensi-
tivity 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 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 passenger door
handle will unlock all doors and the tailgate
automatically.
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 Uconnect
system
page 181.
•
All doors will unlock when the front passenger door
handle is grabbed regardless of the driver’s door
unlock preference setting.
