provides both audible and visible signals. If
something triggers the alarm, the vehicle
security alarm will provide the following audible
and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park
lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the
vehicle security light in the instrument cluster
will flash.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE25
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect
your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the vehicle security
alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will
turn the horn off after 29 seconds, 5 seconds
between cycles, up to 8 cycles if the trigger
remains active and then the vehicle security
alarm will rearm itself.

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.
Never use the PARK position as a substi -
tute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
When exiting the vehicle, always make sure
the keyless ignition node is in the “OFF”
mode, remove the key fob from the vehicle
and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended 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 chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.

position and a door is open, as a reminder to
place the ignition in the OFF position and
remove the key fob.
Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit — If
Equipped
The Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit feature
unlocks all of the vehicle doors when any door
is opened. This will occur only after the gear
selector has been placed into the PARK
position, after the vehicle has been driven (the
gear selector has been placed out of PARK and
all doors closed).
The Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit feature
will not operate if there is any manual operation
of the door locks (lock or unlock).
For further information, refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia”.
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. NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.
If wearing gloves on your hands, 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 re-lock and will arm the security
alarm (if equipped).
The sliding side doors can be unlocked from
the outside using the hands free or Passive
Entry system.
The key fob may not be able to 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.
If set by the customer in the Uconnect
Settings, unlocking with Passive Entry will
initiate illuminated approach (low beams,
license plate lamp, position lamps) for the
time 0, 30 (default), 60 or 90 seconds.
Passive Entry also initiates two flashes of the
turn lamps.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a valid key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
driver’s door handle, grab the driver’s front door
handle to unlock the drivers side doors (driver/
sliding door) automatically. The interior door
panel lock knob will rotate when the door is
unlocked.

NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is programmed,
all doors and liftgate will unlock when you grab
hold of the driver’s front door handle. To select
between “Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” and
“Unlock All Doors 1st Press,” refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further informa -
tion.
To Unlock From The Passenger Side:
With a valid key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
passenger door handle, grab the front
passenger door handle to unlock all four doors
and the liftgate automatically. The interior door
panel lock knob will rotate when the door is
unlocked.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when the front passenger
door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting (“Unlock
Driver Door 1st Press” or “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press”). Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Key Fob In
Vehicle (FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a key fob inside your vehicle, the
Passive Entry system is equipped with an
automatic door unlock feature.
FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with
Passive Entry. There are three situations that
trigger a FOBIK-Safe search in any Passive Entry
vehicle:
A lock request is made by a valid 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 finds a key fob inside the car,
and it does not find any key fob outside the car,
then the car will unlock and alert the customer.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a
valid key fob is detected inside the vehicle, and no valid key fob is detected outside the vehicle.
The vehicle will not unlock the doors when any
of the following conditions are met:
The doors are manually locked using the door
lock knobs.
There is a valid key fob outside the vehicle
and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive Entry
door handle.
Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch and then close
the doors.
NOTE:
On the third attempt ALL doors will lock and the
key fob can be locked in the vehicle.
To Enter The Liftgate
With a valid key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
liftgate, cycle the handle to open the liftgate and
pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
NOTE:
If “Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” is
programmed, only the liftgate will unlock when
the liftgate release handle is pulled. If “Unlock
All Doors 1st Press” is programmed, all doors
and the liftgate will unlock when the liftgate
