To Unlock From The Passenger Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE Key Fob within 5 ft

passenger door handle to unlock all four doors automati-
cally. The interior door panel lock knob will raise when
the door is unlocked.

door handle is grabbed regardless of the driver ’s door

Press” or “Unlock All Doors 1st Press”). Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry RKE
Key Fob In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry RKE Key Fob inside your vehicle, the
Passive Entry system is equipped with an automatic door
unlock feature which will function if the ignition is OFF.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel
switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors
have been closed the vehicle checks the inside and
outside of the vehicle for any valid Passive Entry RKE
Key Fobs. If one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE Key
Fobs is detected inside the vehicle, and no other valid
Passive Entry RKE Key Fobs are detected outside the
vehicle, the Passive Entry System automatically unlocks
all vehicle doors and chirps the horn three times (on the
third attempt ALL doors will lock and the Passive Entry
RKE Key Fob can be locked in the vehicle).
