Passive Entry Unlock initiates illuminated approach
(low beams, license plate lamp, position lamps) for
whichever duration is set between 0, 30, 60 or
90 seconds. Passive Entry unlock also initiates two
flashes of the turn signal lamps.
•
If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing, or
there is salt/dirt covering the Passive Entry door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be affected,
resulting in a slower response time.
•
The doors may unlock when water is sprayed on the
Passive Entry door handles if the key fob is located
outside of the vehicle within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
handle.
•
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no
door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will
relock and will arm the Vehicle Security system (if
equipped).
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
the door handle, grab the handle to unlock the vehicle.
Grabbing the driver’s door handle will unlock the driver
door automatically. Grabbing the passenger door
handle will unlock all doors and the liftgate automati-
cally. The interior door panel lock knob will raise when
the door is unlocked.
NOTE:
Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock when
you grab hold of the front driver’s door handle, depend-
ing on the selected setting in the Uconnect system
page 135.
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 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 vehicle checks the inside and
outside of the vehicle for any valid Passive Entry key
fob. If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry key fobs is
detected inside the vehicle, and no other valid Passive
Entry key fobs are detected outside the vehicle, the
Passive Entry system automatically unlocks all vehicle
doors and chirps the horn three times (on the third
attempt, ALL doors will lock, and the Passive Entry key
fob can be locked in the vehicle).
To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
The liftgate Passive Entry unlock feature is built into the
electronic liftgate handle. With a valid Passive Entry key
fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the liftgate, pull the electronic
liftgate handle for a power open on vehicles equipped
with a power liftgate. Pull the electronic liftgate handle
and lift for manual liftgate vehicles.
NOTE:
•
If the vehicle is unlocked, the liftgate will open with
the handle and no key fob is required.
•
The liftgate will either unlock along with the vehicle
doors, or it will need to be unlocked by pushing the
electronic liftgate release, depending on the
selected setting in the Uconnect system
page 135.
•
The liftgate (and vehicle doors if unlocked) must be
locked using the lock button on the key fob, the Pas-
sive Entry lock button, or the lock buttons on the
interior front door panels.
