phone, laptop, or other electronic device; these
devices may interfere with the key fob’s wireless
signal and prevent the Passive Entry system from
locking and unlocking the vehicle.
● 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 the Passive Entry door
handle, and no door opens within 60 seconds,
the vehicle will relock and if equipped, the Vehicle
Security system will arm.
To Unlock From The Driver 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 all doors
and the liftgate automatically.

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.
FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with Passive Entry.
There are three 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 ajar.
● A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door
handle while a door is ajar.
● A lock request is made by the door panel switch
while the door is ajar.
When any of these situations occur, after all ajar doors
are shut, the F
OBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it
detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the car, and it
does not detect any Passive Entry key fobs outside the
car, then the car 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, and
no valid Passive Entry key fob is detected outside the
vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors when any
of the following conditions are met:
● The doors are manually locked using the door lock
button.
● There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive Entry
door handle.
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
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.
