GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 51
Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)
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.
There are five situations that trigger a FOBIK-Safe
search in any Passive Entry vehicle:

A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry
key fob while a door is open.

A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door
handle while a door is open.

A lock request is made by the door panel switch
while the door is open.

When the Vehicle Security system is in pre-arm
or armed status and the liftgate transitions from
opened to closed.
When any of these situations occur, after all open
doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be
executed. If it detects a Passive Entry key fob
inside the vehicle, the vehicle will unlock and alert
the customer.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid
Passive Entry key fob is detected inside the
vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors when
any of the following conditions are true:

The doors are manually locked using the emer-
gency lock lever.

Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch and then the doors
are closed.

There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the
vehicle within 5 ft (1.5 m) of a Passive Entry
door handle.
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fobs
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of a Passive Entry door handle,
touch the lock icon on the door handle to lock all
four doors and liftgate.
Touch The Door Handle Lock Icon To Lock
NOTE:
Do NOT grab the door handle when touching the
lock icon. This could unlock the door(s).
Do NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking
NOTE:

After touching the door handle lock icon, you
must wait two seconds before you can lock or
unlock the doors using any Passive Entry door
handle. This is done to allow you to check if the
vehicle is locked by pulling the door handle,
without the vehicle unlocking.

If Passive Entry is disabled using the Uconnect
Settings, the key fob protection described in
"Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)" remains active/functional.

The Passive Entry system will not operate if the
key fob battery is depleted.
