VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™
Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the
Vehicle Security system is armed, interior switches
for door locks and liftgate release are disabled. If
something triggers the system, the Vehicle Security
system will provide the following audible and
visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted
to standards from different countries.
The Vehicle Security system is a complementary
security system developed to hinder the occur -
rence of vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It
does not
prevent the theft of your vehicle; the
system is a deterrent.
The Vehicle Security system does not monitor
glass breakage or the movement of objects or
people inside the vehicle. The alarm does not
intervene in the case of vehicle tilt variations
when it is parked.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OF
F position.

2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the v
ehicle:
Push the lock button on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver and/or
passenger door open.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 21
(Continued)
Push the lock button on the exterior Passive
Entry door handle with a valid key fob avail -
able in the same exterior zone Ú page 22.
Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using
any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock
the door Ú page 22.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or
disarm the Vehicle Security system.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the
interior power door lock switches will not unlock
the doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect
your v e

hicle. 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 system 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 system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
batte
r

y becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system 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 system.
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. in the case of
long in
activity of the vehicle), lock the doors by
turning the emergency key in the exterior door lock
cylinder.
NOTE:
If the batteries in the key fob discharge in the event
of a f a
ilure to the system, place the ignition in the
ON/RUN position to turn the alarm off.
DOORS
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
The door locks can be manually locked from inside
the vehicle by using the door lock knob. To lock
each door, rotate the door lock knob on each door
trim panel forward until the lock indicator is shown.
To unlock the front doors, pull the inside door
handle to the first detent or rotate the door lock
button until the lock indicator is hidden. To unlock
the rear doors, rotate the door lock button until the
lock indicator is hidden. If the door lock button is locked (lock indicator visible) when you shut the
door, the door will remain locked. Therefore, make
sure the key fob is not inside the vehicle before
closing the door.
All doors and the liftgate can be programmed to
unlock


on the use of one of the front door interior
handles within the Uconnect Settings Ú page 133.

KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — PASSIVE
E
NTRY (IF EQUIPPED)
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system and a
feature of Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry.
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
through Uconnect Settings Ú page 133.
The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the 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 and unlocking the vehicle.
If wearing gloves, 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 relock and, if equipped, will arm the
Vehicle Security system.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side Or Passenger’s

and lock the 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 chil -
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is
d anger

ous 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 in the ON or RUN posi -

Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBI K

-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking
a Passive Entry key fob inside your vehicle,
the Passive Entry system is equipped with an
automatic door unlock feature which will function if
the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
There are three situations that trigger a
FOBIK -

Safe search in any Passive Entry vehicle:
A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry
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 ar
e shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be
executed. If it detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle and it does not detect any
Passive Entry key fobs outside the vehicle, then the
vehicle will unlock and alert the customer.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid
Passi v
e Entry key fob is detected inside the
vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors when
any of the following conditions are true:
The doors are manually locked using the door
lock knobs.
Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch and then the doors
are closed.
There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive
Entry
door handle.
