
All doors will unlock when the front passenger door
handle is grabbed regardless of the driver’s door
unlock preference setting.
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 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 tailgate transitions from open to
closed.
 When the tailgate transitions from open to closed and
Remote Start is active.
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 door lock
knobs.

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 Tailgate:
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fobs within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of either front door handles, pushing the Passive
Entry lock button will lock the vehicle.
Push The Door Handle Button To Lock
Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing the door
handle lock button. This could unlock the door(s).
