To Unlock From The Passenger Side:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
passenger door handle, grab the front passenger door handle
to unlock all doors automatically. The interior door panel
lock knob will raise when the door is unlocked.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when the front passenger door handle
is grabbed regardless of the driver’s door unlock preference
setting (“Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” or “Unlock All
Doors 1st Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry Key Fob
In Vehicle:
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 posi-
tion.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel switch
is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors have been
closed the vehicle checks the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid Passive Entry key fobs. If one of the vehicle's
Passive Entry key fobs is detected inside the vehicle, and no
other valid Passive Entry key fobs are detected outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System automatically unlocks all
vehicle doors and chirps the horn three times (on the third
attempt ALL doors will lock and the Passive Entry key fob
can be locked in the vehicle).
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors:
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fobs within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver or passenger front door handles, push
the door handle lock button to lock all doors.

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
NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle lock button, you must wait two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors, using
either 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.
• The Passive Entry system depends on a key fob that is not fully discharged of its coin battery capacity. • The LED light on the key fob will not blink if the key fob
battery is low or fully depleted, but a low key fob battery
condition will still support the Passive Entry system func -
tionality. When the key fob battery is low, the instrument
cluster will display a message indicating that the key fob
battery is low. Refer to “Keys” in “Getting To Know Your
Vehicle” for further information.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the key fob
lock button or the lock button located on the vehicle’s inte -
rior door panel.
