Doors
The door locks can be manually locked from inside the vehicle by using the door lock knob.
Manual Door Lock Knob
To lock each door, rotate the door lock knob on each door trim panel forward until the lock indicator is shown. To unlock the front doors, pull the inside door handle to the first detent or rotate the door lock button until the lock indicator is hidden. To unlock the rear doors, rotate the door lock button until the lock indicator is hidden. If the door lock button is locked (lock indicator visible) when you shut the door, the door will remain locked. Therefore, make sure the key fob is not inside the vehicle before closing the door.
Note:
-
Manually locking the vehicle will not arm the Vehicle Security system.
-
The manual door locks will not lock or unlock the liftgate.
WARNING:
-
For personal security and safety in the event of a collision, lock the vehicle doors before you drive as well as when you park and exit the vehicle.
-
When exiting the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle. If equipped with a Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition, always make sure the keyless ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe personal injuries or death.
-
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
-
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. Do not leave the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
The power door lock switches are located on each front door panel. Push the switch to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate.
>Power Door Lock Switch
If you push the power door lock switch while the ignition is in the ON/RUN position, and any door or the liftgate is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents you from accidentally locking the key fob in the vehicle. Placing the ignition in the OFF position or closing the doors and liftgate will allow the locks to operate.
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — PASSIVE ENTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system and a feature of Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry. 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/off through Uconnect Settings "⇨UCONNECT SETTINGS".
-
The key fob may not detect 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 relock 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
-
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 "⇨UCONNECT SETTINGS".
-
All doors and the liftgate 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 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 detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle and it does not detect any Passive Entry key fobs outside the vehicle, then the vehicle 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. The vehicle will not unlock the doors when any of the following conditions are true:
-
The doors are manually locked using the door lock knobs.
-
Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the door panel switch and then the doors are closed.
-
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 handle, push the Passive Entry lock button located on the outside door handle to lock the vehicle doors and liftgate.
>Push The Door Handle Button To Lock
Note:
DO NOT grab the door handle when pushing the door handle lock button. This could unlock the door(s).
>DO NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking
Note:
-
After pushing the door handle button, you must wait two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors, using either Passive Entry door handle. This is done to allow you to check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the door handle without the vehicle unlocking.
-
If Passive Entry is disabled using the Uconnect settings, the key fob protection described in "Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key (FOBIK-Safe)" remains active/functional.
-
The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob battery is depleted.
To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
>Electronic Liftgate Release Handle
The liftgate Passive Entry unlock feature is built into the electronic liftgate release handle. With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the liftgate, push the electronic liftgate release handle to open.
AUTOMATIC UNLOCK DOORS ON EXIT
The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if:
-
The Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit feature is enabled.
-
All doors are closed.
-
The gear selector was not in PARK, then is placed in PARK.
-
Any door is opened.
CHILD-PROTECTION DOOR LOCK SYSTEM — REAR DOORS
To provide a safer environment for small children riding in the rear seats, the rear doors are equipped with a Child-Protection Door Lock system.
To use the system, open each rear door, use a flat blade screwdriver (or emergency key) and rotate the dial to the lock or unlock position. When the system on a door is engaged, that door can only be opened by using the outside door handle even if the inside door lock is in the unlocked position.
>Child-Protection Door Lock Function
Note:
-
When the Child-Protection Door Lock system is engaged, the door can be opened only by using the outside door handle even though the inside door lock is in the unlocked position.
-
After disengaging the Child-Protection Door Lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
-
After engaging the Child-Protection Door Lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
-
For emergency exit with the system engaged, rotate the door lock button until the lock indicator is hidden (unlocked position), roll down the window, and open the door with the outside door handle.
WARNING:
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the Child-Protection locks are engaged (locked).
Note:
Always use this device when carrying children. After engaging the child lock on both rear doors, check for effective engagement by trying to open a door with the internal handle. Once the Child-Protection Door Lock system is engaged, it is impossible to open the doors from inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the vehicle, be sure to check that there is no one left inside.
