Doors
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
The front doors can be manually unlocked with a single pull of the inside door handle. The driver’s door can also be manually locked/unlocked by inserting the emergency key into the lock cylinder on the outside door handle.

Driver’s Door Cylinder Lock
The rear doors can be manually unlocked with a double pull of the inside door handle.
All doors except the driver’s door can be manually locked by inserting the emergency key into the emergency lock lever and sliding the lever upward. The emergency lock lever is located on the door latch face of each door.

Emergency Lock Lever
Note:
-
The emergency lock lever is only accessible when the door is open.
-
Manually locking the vehicle will not arm the Vehicle Security system.
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 exiting the vehicle, always make sure the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
-
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 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 buttons are located on each front door panel. Use these buttons to lock or unlock all doors, liftgate, and fuel door.
When the doors are locked, an indicator light in the lock button will illuminate.

Power Door Lock Switches
The driver’s door will unlock automatically if the key fob is detected inside the vehicle when the door lock button on the front door panel is used to lock the door, then the door is closed. The horn will also chirp to alert the driver. This will occur for two attempts. On the third attempt, the doors will lock even if the key fob is inside.
Note:
If the key fob is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device, the wireless signal may get blocked, and the driver’s door may not unlock automatically.
If the door lock switch is pushed while the ignition is in ON/RUN and the driver's door is open, the doors will not lock.
Rear Passenger Power Door Locks
Power door lock buttons are located on each rear door trim panel. Push the lock button to lock the rear door or push the unlock button to unlock the rear door.
POWER SIDE STEPS — IF EQUIPPED
The Power Side Steps will extend 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, and they will retract when the doors are closed. This mode can be turned on or off in the Uconnect Settings UCONNECT SETTINGS.
Note:
-
When enabled within Uconnect Settings, the Power Side Steps can also be manually extended or retracted by pressing the Power Side Step button on the Controls menu of the Vehicle screen.

If the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h), the steps will retract.
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — PASSIVE ENTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system 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.
If equipped, the rear doors will also have Passive Entry capabilities.
Note:
-
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off through Uconnect Settings UCONNECT SETTINGS.
-
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle 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 handle from locking/unlocking the vehicle.
-
Passive Entry Unlock initiates illuminated approach (low beams, license plate lamp, parking lights, door handle pocket lights [if equipped]) for whichever duration is set between 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Passive Entry Unlock also initiates two flashes of the turn signal lights.
-
If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/snowing on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock and lock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower response time.
-
The doors may lock and 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.
-
Passive Entry lock initiates one horn chirp and one flash of turn signal lights. These settings can be programmed on/off within Uconnect Settings UCONNECT SETTINGS.
-
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will relock and will arm the Vehicle Security system (if equipped).
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 front passenger door handle (or a rear handle when equipped with four-door Passive Entry) will unlock all doors and the liftgate automatically.

Grab The Door Handle To Unlock
Note:
-
Either the driver’s 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 will unlock when the front passenger (or a rear door when equipped with four door Passive Entry) 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 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 liftgate transitions from opened to closed.
-
When the liftgate 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.
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 emergency lock lever.
-
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 within 5 ft (1.5 m) of a Passive Entry door handle.

Do NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking
Note:
-
After touching the door handle lock icon, you must wait two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors using any 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 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.

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-head 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.

-
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.
-

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.
