back up method can be used to operate the ignition switch.
Put the nose side of the key fob (side opposite of the Emer-
gency Key) against the ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
To Unlock The Doors
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to
unlock the driver’s door. Push the unlock button twice
within five seconds to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights
will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated
entry system will also turn on.
NOTE:
The instrument cluster display or Uconnect Settings are
setup for driver door first, otherwise this will unlock all
doors.
To Lock The Doors

doors. The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will
chirp to acknowledge the signal. Sound Horn With Remote Key Lock

vehicle will activate the vehicle security alarm system.

-

Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

3. If any doors are open, close them.
The vehicle security alarm will set when you use the power
door locks, or use the key fob to lock the doors. After all the
doors are locked and closed, the vehicle security light, in the
instrument panel cluster, will flash rapidly for about 16
seconds to indicate that the alarm is being set. After the
alarm is set, the vehicle security light will flash at a slower
rate to indicate that the system is armed.
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed using any of the
following methods:
1. Push the unlock button on the key fob.
2. Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a validkey fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the passive entry door
handle. If equipped, refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go —
Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your Vehicle" for
further information.
3. Place the ignition out of the “OFF” position. The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. 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 secu-
rity alarm 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 secu-
rity alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the vehicle security alarm 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 alarm.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will turn the horn off
after 29 seconds, 5 seconds between cycles, up to 8 cycles if
the trigger remains active and then the vehicle security alarm
will rearm itself.

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.

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.
