GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
23
If you push the power door lock switch while the
key fob is in the ignition, and any front door is open,
the power locks will not operate. This prevents you
from accidentally locking your key fob in the
vehicle. Removing the key fob or closing the door
will allow the locks to operate. A chime will sound if
the key fob is in the ignition switch and a door is
open, as a reminder to remove the key fob.

The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system
and a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go. This feature
allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s)
without having to push the key fob lock or unlock
buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off. Refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.
If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been
raining/snowing on the Passive Entry door
handle, the unlock sensitivity 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 re-lock and will arm the security
alarm (if equipped).
The vehicle security alarm can be armed/
disarmed by pushing the Passive Entry key fob
lock/unlock buttons (if equipped).
The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the vehicle Passive Entry 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 passive
entry handle from locking/unlocking the
vehicle.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver door handle, grab the front
driver door handle to unlock the driver's door
automatically. The interior door panel lock knob
will raise when the door is unlocked.
Grab The Door Handle To Unlock
NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is programmed, all
doors will unlock when you grab hold of the front
driver’s door handle. To select between “Unlock
Driver Door 1st Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press,” refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi
-
media” for further information.
To Unlock From The Passenger Side:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passenger door handle, grab the
front passenger door handle to unlock all doors
automatically. The interior door panel lock knob
will raise when the door is unlocked.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when the front passenger door
handle is grabbed regardless of the driver’s door
unlock preference setting (“Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” or “Unlock All Doors 1st Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry
Key Fob In Vehicle:
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.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door
panel switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all
