Before Driving
Passive Entry System
The "Passive Entry" system is an
enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This
function allows you to lock and unlock
the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
press the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
The key fob is detected only after acting
on the buttons of the door handles.
If the detected key fob is valid, the
doors are unlocked pressing the handle
button (the elements that unlock depend
on the setting of the “Passive Entry”
programmable function).
NOTE:
The "Passive Entry" system does not
lock and unlock the doors directly and
immediately but with a slight delay
(about 2 seconds).
Unlock the Door/Doors
With a valid key fob within 3.3 ft (1 m) of
the driver's door handle, lift the driver’s
door external handle to unlock the door
automatically. Lifting the handle, do not
press the door lock button on the handle.
Lifting the handle of the driver's door
unlocks, the driver's door only, or all
the doors, depending on the mode set
in the MIA system (see “Customer
Programmable Functions” in section
“instruments and Controls”).
Lock the Door/Doors
To lock the doors, proceed as follows:
• make sure that you have the key fob
and are close within 3.3 ft (1 m) to the
driver or passenger side door handle;
• press the door locking button located
on the handle: this will lock all doors
and the rear hood (or liftgate). Door
locking will activate the alarm as well.
After pressing the door locking button,
you need to wait 2 seconds before the
doors can be unlocked again using the
door handle. It is therefore possible to
check whether the vehicle is locked
correctly by lifting the door handle within
2 seconds and try to open it. The doors
will not be unlocked again.
The vehicle doors and rear hood (or
liftgate) can anyway be locked pressing
button on the key fob.
