Before Starting
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when you grip
the front passenger door handle
regardless of the driver’s door unlock
preference setting (“Driver Door” or
“All Doors”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking
of the Key fob Inside the
Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of
unintentionally locking a key fob
inside your vehicle, the “Passive Entry”
system is equipped with an automatic
door unlock function which will
function if the ignition device 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 system checks
the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid key fobs.
If one of the vehicle's key fobs is
detected inside the vehicle, and no
other valid key fobs are detected
outside the vehicle, the “Passive
Entry” system automatically unlocks
all vehicle doors and chirps the horn
fourteen times (on the fifteenth
attempt ALL doors will lock and the
key fob will be locked in the vehicle).
This will happen even on vehicles
equipped with power liftgate/Hands
free, pressing the lower
button
on the outer edge of the left boot
compartment lining to close and lock
the liftgate.
NOTE:
The vehicle automatically unlocks the
doors under any of the following
conditions:
• the doors are manually locked using
the door lock knob positioned on the
door panel;
• there is a valid key fob inside the
vehicle;
• there is not a valid key fob outside
the vehicle.
NOTE:
The vehicle will not automatically
unlock the doors under any of the
following conditions:
• the doors are locked using the key
fob;
• the doors are locked using the
“Passive Entry” button on the door
handles;
• there is a valid key fob outside the
vehicle and within 1 m (3.3 ft) of
either “Passive Entry” door handle;
• fifteen attempts are made to lock the
doors using the door panel switch
and/or the lower
button (on
the outer edge of the left boot
compartment of vehicles equipped
with power liftgate/Hands free) and
then close the doors.
