KEYLESS LOCK DELAY
This feature allows you to select whether the doors

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
10 seconds.
For example, if there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the
other will be locked in. The keyless access transmitter
locked in the vehicle can still be used to start the
vehicle or unlock the doors, if needed. A person
approaching the outside of the locked vehicle without
an authorized keyless access transmitter, however, will
not be able to open the door, even with a transmitter in
the vehicle.
You may temporarily disable the passive door locking
feature by pressing the door unlock switch for
three seconds on an open door. Passive door locking
will then remain disabled until a door lock switch is
pressed or until the power mode transitions from the off

blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect a
vehicle ahead. FCA may not help you avoid a
collision under these conditions. Do not use FCA
when the radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt.
Keep your radar clean. See “Cleaning the
System” underAdaptive Cruise Control
on
page 4‑15

objects ahead of you. You could crash into an
object ahead of you. Do not rely on FCA when
approaching stationary or slow-moving vehicles or
other objects.
