WARNING!
• For personal security and safety in the
ev en

t 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.
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 shift lever.
• DonotleavetheKeyFobinornearthevehicle,
or in a location accessible to children, 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. POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each front door trim
panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate.
(fig. 95)
If you press the power door lock switch while the
ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, and any
front door is open, the power locks will not operate.
This prevents you from accidentally locking the Key
Fob in the vehicle. Cycling the ignition to the OFF
position or closing the door will allow the locks to
operate. If a door is open, and the ignition is in the
ACC or ON/RUN position, a chime will sound as a
reminder to turn the ignition OFF.

KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO™
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 press the RKE transmitter lock or unlock
buttons.
NOTE:
• Passive Entry may be programmed ON/OFF; refer to“Uconnect® Settings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle” for
further information.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been raining on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock
sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower re-
sponse time.
• If the vehicle is unlocked by the RKE transmitter or Passive Entry and no door goes ajar within 60 sec-
onds, the vehicle will re-lock and will arm the theft
alarm. To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within
1.5 m of the driver's door handle, grab the driver's
front door handle to unlock the driver's door auto-
matically. The interior door panel lock knob will raise
when the door is unlocked.
(fig. 99)
NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is pro-
grammed all doors 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 “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Knowing Your Vehicle”
for further information.

This is done to allow you to check if the vehicle is
locked by pulling the door handle, without the ve-
hicle reacting and unlocking.
• If Passive Entry is disabled using Uconnect® System, the key protection described in "Preventing Inadver-
tent Locking of Passive Entry RKE Transmitter in
Vehicle" remains active/functional.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the RKE transmitter battery is dead.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the RKE
transmitter lock button or the lock button located on
the vehicle’s interior door panel.

(fig. 103)
There are single window controls on each passenger
door trim panel, which operate the passenger door
windows. The window controls will operate when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN or ACC position.NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with the Uconnect®,
the power window switches will remain active for up to
10 minutes after the ignition is cycled to the LOCK/
OFF position. Opening either front door will cancel
this feature. The time is programmable. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle” for
further information.
WARNING!

LIFTGATE
The liftgate can be unlocked or locked with the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ (Passive Entry) or by activating the
power door lock switch located on either front door
trim panel.
For further information on Keyless Enter-N-Go™

“Starting And Driving”.
NOTE:The liftgate cannot be unlocked or locked with
the manual door lock plungers on the door trim panels
or the door lock cylinder on the driver's door.
To open the unlocked liftgate, squeeze the handle and
pull the liftgate toward you. Gas props will raise and
support the liftgate in the open position.
(fig. 105)
NOTE: Because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can al-
low poison

ous exhaust gases into your
vehicle. These fumes could injure you and your
passengers. Keep the liftgate closed when you are
operating the vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are closed, and
the blower switch on the climate control is set at
high speed. Do not use the recirculation mode.

WARNING!
• Riding the brakes can lead to brake
failure an

d possibly a collision. Driving
with your foot resting or riding on the brake
pedal can result in abnormally high brake tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and possible
brake damage.You would not have your full brak-
ing capacity in an emergency.
• Driving a vehicle with the “Brake Warning
Light” on is dangerous. A significant decrease in
braking performance or vehicle stability during
brakingmayoccur.Itwilltakeyoulongertostop
the vehicle or will make your vehicle harder to
control. You could have a collision. Have the ve-
hicle checked immediately. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle con-
trol under adverse braking conditions. The system
controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel
lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces
during braking. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)” under “Knowing Your Vehicle/Electronic Brake
Control System” for further information.
WARNING!
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physi cs

from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing
road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive speed in
turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro-
planing. The capabilities of an ABS-equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner, which could jeopardize the
user's safety or the safety of others.
