WARNING!(Continued)
•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 gear
selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, 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.

The power door lock switches are located on each front
door panel. Push the switch to lock or unlock the doors. The driver ’s door will unlock automatically if the keys are
found inside the car when door lock button on trim is used
to lock the door.
NOTE:
If the key fob is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop, or other electronic device, the wireless signal may
get blocked, and the driver ’s door may not unlock auto-
matically.
At the third attempt, the doors will lock even if the key is
inside.

If the door lock switch is pushed while the ignition is in
ACC or ON/RUN and the driver’s door is open, the doors
will not lock.
If a rear door is locked, it cannot be opened from inside the
vehicle without first unlocking the door. The door may be
unlocked manually by raising the lock knob.
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehi-
cle’s key fob and a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go —
Passive Entry. This feature allows you to lock and unlock
the vehicle’s door(s) and fuel door 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 infor-
mation. •
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 system from locking/unlocking the ve-
hicle.
• Passive Entry Unlock initiates illuminated approach
(Low Beams, License Plate Lamp, Position Lamps) for
whichever time duration is set between 0, 30 (default),
60 or 90 seconds. Passive Entry Unlock also initiates two
flashes of the turn signal lamps.
• 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
if equipped will arm the security alarm.

vehicle.
The distance the driver seat moves depends on where you
have the driver seat positioned when you cycle the vehi-
cle’s ignition to the OFF position.
•
When you cycle the vehicle’s ignition to the OFF position,
the driver seat will move about 2.4 inches (60 mm)
rearward if the driver seat position is greater than or
equal to 2.7 inches (67.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. The
seat will return to its previously set position when you
cycle the vehicle’s ignition to the ACC or RUN position.
•The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the
driver seat position is less than 0.9 of an inch (22.7 mm)
forward of the rear stop. At this position, there is no
benefit to the driver by moving the seat for Easy Exit or
Easy Entry. Each stored memory setting will have an associated Easy
Entry and Easy Exit position.

the vehicle is delivered from the factory. The Easy Entry/
Exit feature is enabled (or later disabled) through the

tween the power mirror switches L (left) and R (right).
Push the switch once and the mirrors will fold in, push the
switch a second time and the mirrors will return to the
normal driving position.
If the mirror is manually folded after electrically cycled, a
potential extra button push is required to get the mirrors
back to the home position. If the mirror does not electri-
cally fold, check for ice or dirt build up at the pivot area
which can cause excessive drag.Automatic Power Folding Mirrors
When the Automatic Fold Mirrors feature is enabled, the
exterior mirrors will fold in when exiting the vehicle (the
ignition is OFF, all doors are closed, and the doors are
locked).

If the exterior mirrors were auto-folded, they will unfold
when the ignition is turned ON.

Uconnect system screen. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensitive Wiper
System” and it is activated, the headlights will automati-
cally turn on after the wipers complete five wipe cycles
within approximately one minute, and they will turn off
approximately four minutes after the wipers completely
stop.
Refer to “Windshield Wipers And Washers” in “Getting To
Know Your Vehicle” for further information.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the day-
time, the instrument panel lights will automatically dim to
the lower nighttime intensity.
Headlight Delay
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a
headlight delay that will leave the headlights on for
approximately up to 90 seconds. This delay is initiated
when the ignition is turned OFF while the headlight switch
is on, and then the headlight switch is cycled off. Headlight
delay can be cancelled by either turning the headlight
switch on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
