KEYLESS ENTRY (If Equipped)
General Information
WARNING
The system may not function if the
key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices such as cell
phones.
The system will not function if:
• Your vehicle battery has no charge.
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The passive key battery is flat.
Note: If the system does not function, you
will need to use the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
The system allows you to operate your
vehicle without the use of a key or remote
control.
Passive locking and unlocking requires a
valid passive key to be located within one
of the two external detection ranges. These
are located approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) from
the front door handles and tailgate.
Passive Key
Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked
with the passive key. You can use the
passive key as a remote control. See
Locking and Unlocking (page 2).
Locking Your Vehicle
WARNING
Your vehicle does not lock itself
automatically. If you do not press a
locking button your vehicle will
remain unlocked.
Locking buttons are located on each of the
front doors and the tailgate.
For central locking and to arm the alarm:
• Press a locking button once.
Note: Your vehicle will remain locked for
approximately three seconds. When the
delay period is over, you can open the doors
again, provided the passive key is within the
respective detection range.
Two short flashes of the direction indicators
confirms that all the doors and tailgate
have been locked and that the alarm has
been armed.
Unlocking Your Vehicle
Note: Your vehicle remains locked for longer
than three days, the system will enter an
energy-saving mode. This is to reduce the
discharge of your vehicle battery. When your
vehicle is unlocked while in this mode, the
reaction time of the system may be a little
longer than normal. To exit the energy-saving
mode, unlock your vehicle.
