If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/snowing, or
there is salt/dirt covering 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 or Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the door handle, grab the handle to unlock the vehicle.
Grabbing the driver’s door handle will unlock the driver
door automatically. Grabbing the passenger door handle
will unlock all doors and the swing gate automatically.

Grab The Door Handle To Unlock

NOTE:Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock when you
grab hold of the front driver’s door handle, depending on
the selected setting in the Uconnect system
Úpage 184. Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key (FOBIK-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 only if the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.
FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with a START/STOP
ignition. 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
are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it
detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle, the
vehicle will unlock and alert the customer. If Passive Entry
is disabled using Uconnect system, the key fob protection
described in this section remains active/functional.
NOTE:The vehicle will only unlock the doors during a FOBIK-Safe
operation when a valid Passive Entry key fob is detected
inside the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors
when any of the following conditions are true:
 A second valid Passive Entry key fob is detected
outside of the vehicle (within 5 ft (1.5 m) of a Passive
Entry door handle). 
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.
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Swing Gate
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fobs within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver or passenger front door handles,
pushing the Passive Entry lock button will lock the vehicle
doors and the swing gate.

IDENTIFYING WHETHER YOU HAVE A
R
OLLING CODE OR NON-ROLLING CODE
D
EVICE
Before programming a device to one of your HomeLink®
buttons, you must determine whether the device has a
rolling code or non-rolling code.
Rolling Code Devices
To determine if your device has a rolling code, a good
indicator is its manufacturing date. Typically, devices
manufactured after 1995 have rolling codes. A device with
a rolling code will also have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button
located where the antenna is attached to the device. The
button may not be immediately visible when looking at the
device. The name and color of the button may vary slightly
by manufacturer.

miscellaneous device follows the same procedure as
programming to a garage door opener
Úpage 48. Be sure
to determine if the device has a rolling code, or non-rolling
code before beginning the programming process.
NOTE:Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter signals
to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of transmission,
which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up
the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some US gate operators are designed to time-out in
the same manner. The procedure may need to be
performed multiple times to successfully pair the device to
your HomeLink® buttons.
WARNING!
 Your motorized door or gate will open and close while
you are programming the universal transceiver. Do
not program the transceiver if people or pets are in
the path of the door or gate.
 Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or
confined area while programming the transceiver.
Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless.

8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to
program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light
in view.
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® button, while you press and release (cycle) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink® has
successfully accepted the frequency signal. The
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take
up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage
door may open and close while you are programming.
5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
NOTE:
If the indicator light stays on constantly, program -
ming is complete and the garage door/device
