Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive
Entry Key Fob In Vehicle (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 igni-
tion switch is in the OFF position.
FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with
Passive Entry. 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 finds a Passive Entry key fob inside the car, the car will unlock and
alert the customer. If Passive Entry is
disabled using Uconnect System, the key
protection described in "Preventing Inadver
-
tent Locking of Passive Entry Key Fob in
Vehicle" 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 5ft
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 close
the doors.
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. Push The Door Handle Button To Lock
NOTE:
DO NOT grab the door handle, when pushing
the door handle lock button. This could
unlock the door(s).
DO NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking
The vehicle doors can also be locked by
using the lock button located on the
vehicle’s interior door panel.

To Unlock/Enter The Swing Gate
The Swing Gate passive entry unlock feature
is built into the Swing Gate handle. With a
valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the Swing Gate handle, grab the
Swing Gate handle to unlock the Swing Gate
automatically, and pull the Swing Gate to
open.
NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is
programmed all doors and the swing gate will
unlock when you grab hold of the swing gate
handle. To select between “Unlock Driver
Door 1st Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press,” refer to “Uconnect Settings” in

further information.Swing Gate Passive Entry Lock Button To Lock The Swing Gate
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the Swing Gate handle, pushing
the Passive Entry lock button will lock the
vehicle doors and the swing gate.
NOTE:
Always take the key with you once a door or
the tailgate is locked to prevent locking the
key fob inside of the vehicle. If the key has
been locked inside of the vehicle, it can be
recovered using the second provided key fob.
NOTE:
After pushing the door handle button, you
must wait two seconds before you can lock
or unlock the doors, using any Passive
Entry door handle. This is done to allow
you to check if the vehicle is locked by
pulling the door handle without the
vehicle reacting and unlocking.
If Passive Entry is disabled using the
Uconnect system, the key protection
described in "Preventing Inadvertent
Locking of Passive Entry Key Fob in
Vehicle" remains active/functional.
The Passive Entry system will not operate
if the key fob battery is depleted.
Child-Protection Door Lock System —
Rear Doors
To provide a safer environment for small chil

dren riding in the rear seats, the rear doors
are equipped with a Child-Protection Door
Lock system.

To use the system, open each rear door, use a
flat blade screwdriver (or emergency key) and
rotate the dial to the lock or unlock position.

NOTE:
When the child lock system is engaged,
the door can be opened only by using the

fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.

that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which
could result in serious injury or death.

the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-

It may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, especially if used for long 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 overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased
