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

Always make sure the ignition is in the OFF
position, remove the key fob from the vehicle,
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 -

WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic illness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication,

periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or seatback
that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been over
-
heated could cause serious burns due to the
