Keyless Access Operation
Some vehicles have the keyless
access system that lets you lock
and unlock the doors and access
the liftgate without removing the
remote transmitter from your pocket,
purse, briefcase, etc. The keyless
entry transmitter must be within 1 m
(3 ft) of the door being opened.
If the vehicle has this feature, there
will be a body colored touch pad on
the outside front door handles.
Keyless Unlocking
With the transmitter within 1 m (3 ft),
approach the front door and pull
the handle. If the transmitter is
recognized, the door will unlock
and open.
Entering any door other than the
driver door will always cause all
of the doors to unlock. This is not
customizable.
To customize which doors unlock
when the driver ’s door is opened,
see “Passive Unlock” underVehicle
Personalization on page 5‑40. Keyless Locking
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this feature
allows you to select whether the
doors automatically lock during
normal vehicle exit. When the
vehicle is turned off and all doors
become closed, the vehicle will
determine how many keyless
access transmitters remain in the
vehicle interior. If at least one
keyless access transmitter has
been removed from the interior
of the vehicle, the doors will lock
after eight seconds.
If there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and
one is removed, the other will be
locked in. A person approaching
the outside of the locked vehicle
without an authorized keyless
access transmitter will not be able
to open the door, even with the
transmitter in the vehicle.

LED will begin to slowly flash
indicating the alarm is operating. If a door, the hood, or liftgate is
opened without first unlocking with

signals will flash and the horn
will sound for about 30 seconds.
The alarm system will then re-arm
to monitor for the next unauthorized

not activate if the doors are locked
with the vehicle's key. You can
start the vehicle with a recognized
transmitter in the vehicle if the alarm
