Locking/Unlocking Doors From The Outside In

from the outside by inserting the blade of the

Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system can identify the pres
-
ence of a key fob near the doors and liftgate.
The system enables the doors and liftgate to
be locked or unlocked without pushing any
buttons on the key fob.
The key fob is detected only after the system
recognizes the presence of a hand on one of
the front door handles. If the detected key fob
is valid, the doors and the liftgate are unlocked
(refer to the Information and Entertainment
System Owner’s Manual Supplement for
Passive Entry Settings).
NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the vehicle keyless-go system if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other elec
-
tronic device; these devices may block the key
fob’s wireless signal and prevent the
keyless-go system from starting the vehicle.
Grasping the handle of the driver's door
unlocks the driver's side door, or all doors
depending on the mode set using the Informa
-
tion and Entertainment System (refer to the
Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual Supplement for Passive Entry
Settings).
NOTE:
If wearing gloves, or if it has rained and the
door handle is wet, the activation sensitivity of
the Passive Entry function may be reduced,
resulting in a longer reaction time.
WARNING!
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
For personal security and safety in the
event of a collision, lock the vehicle doors
as you drive as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat
-
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri
-
ously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil
-
dren. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock all
of the doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
