POWER SIDE STEPS — IF EQUIPPED
The Power Side Steps will extend a step for easier entry
and exit of the vehicle.
When configured for Auto mode, the Power Side Steps
will deploy when any of the doors are opened, or when
the deploy setting is activated through the touchscreen.
When configured for Store mode, the steps will not
deploy unless the setting is selected manually through
the Controls menu within the touchscreen.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h), or if the
retract setting is selected within Uconnect Settings
page 174, the steps will retract.
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ —
PASSIVE ENTRY (IF EQUIPPED)
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehi-
cle’s key fob and a feature of Keyless Enter ‘n Go™. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s)
without having to push the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
•
Passive Entry may be programmed on or off within
Uconnect Settings
page 174.
•
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle Pas-
sive 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/
unlocking the vehicle.
•
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 signals.
•
If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing, or
if 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 (if equipped) will arm the Vehicle Security
system.
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 tailgate
automatically.
NOTE:
•
Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock
when you grab hold of the front driver’s door handle,
depending on the selected setting in the Uconnect
system
page 174.
•
All doors will unlock when the front passenger door
handle is grabbed regardless of the driver’s door
unlock preference 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 is in the
OFF position.
There are five 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 the Vehicle Security system is in pre-arm or
armed status and the tailgate transitions from open
to closed.
•
When the tailgate transitions from open to closed
and Remote Start is active.
When any of these situations occur, after all open doors
are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it
detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle, the
vehicle will unlock and alert the customer.
