Doors
The door locks can be manually locked from inside the vehicle by using the 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.
All doors and the liftgate can be programmed to unlock on the use of one of the front door interior handles within the Uconnect Settings .

Note:
The manual lock knob unlocks each individual door separately.
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 leave the vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle. Always make sure the 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, and do not leave the ignition in the ON or 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, liftgate and fuel door.
Power Door Lock Switch
The doors can also be locked and unlocked with the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry system if equipped .
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — PASSIVE ENTRY (IF EQUIPPED)
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 .
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 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
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 .
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 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.

The arming of the device is indicated by three flashes of the turn signals.
The device does not operate if one or more doors are not properly closed.

CHILD LOCKS
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 Location
Note:
When the Child-Protection Door Lock system is engaged, the door can only be opened by using the outside door handle even though the inside door lock is in the unlocked position.
