GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 23
NOTE:
 Passive Entry may be programmed on/off
through Uconnect Settings Ú page 139.
 The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the Passive Entry system if it is located next
to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic
device; these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal and prevent the Passive Entry
system from locking and unlocking the
vehicle.
 If wearing gloves, 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, if equipped, will arm
the Vehicle Security system.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side Or
Passenger’s Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of either front door handle, grab the
door handle to unlock the door automatically.
Grab The Door Handle To Unlock
 If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is
programmed, all doors and the liftgate will
unlock when you grab hold of the front
driver’s door handle. You can select between
“Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” and “Unlock
All Doors 1st Press” within Uconnect Settings
Ú page 139.
 All doors and the liftgate will unlock when the
front passenger door handle is grabbed
regardless of the driver’s door unlock prefer-
ence setting.
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 which
will function if the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.
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 open.
 A lock request is made by the Passive Entry
door handle while a door is open.
 A lock request is made by the door panel
switch while the door is open.
When any of these situations occur, after all
open doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will
be executed. If it finds a Passive Entry key fob
inside the vehicle and it does not find any
Passive Entry key fobs outside the vehicle, then
the vehicle will unlock and alert the customer.
