REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

This system uses the Key Fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to start the
engine conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The system has

a range of approximately 300 ft (91 m).

NOTE:

• The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic

transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.

• Low fuel indicator must not be illuminated.

jury or death when inhaled.

• Keep Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters

away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls
could cause serious injury or death.

DOOR LOCKS

Manual Door Locks

To lock each door, rotate the door lock knob on each door
trim panel forward. To unlock the front doors, pull the
inside door handle to the first detent or rotate the door
lock button until the red indicator is visible. To unlock the
rear doors, rotate the door lock button until the red
indicator is visible.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

If the door lock button is locked (no red indicator visible)
when you shut the door, the door will lock. Therefore,
make sure the Key Fob is not inside the vehicle before
closing the door.

WARNING!

• For personal security and safety in the event of an

collision, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as
well as when you park and leave the vehicle.

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous 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 of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode.
A child could operate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.

Power Door Locks

A power door lock switch is on each front door trim
panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors.

The doors can also be locked and unlocked with the

If you push the power door lock switch while the key is
in the ignition, and any front door is open, the power
locks will not operate. This prevents you from acciden-
tally locking the Key Fob in the vehicle. Removing the

locks to operate. If a door is open, and the ignition is in
the OFF or ACC position, a chime will sound as a
reminder to remove the Key Fob.

push the RKE transmitter lock or unlock buttons.

Child-Protection Door Lock Function

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

• Passive Entry may be programmed ON/OFF; refer to

“Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.

• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been

raining on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock
sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower re-
sponse time.

• If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door

is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will re-lock
and if equipped will arm the security alarm.

To Unlock From The Driver’s Side:

With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver’s door handle, grab the front driver
door handle to unlock the driver’s door automatically.
The interior door panel lock knob will raise when the
door is unlocked.

NOTE:

If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is programmed

all doors will unlock when you grab hold of the front
driver’s door handle. To select between “Unlock Driver
Door 1st Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st Press”, refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument

Grab The Door Handle To Unlock

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

To Unlock From The Passenger Side:

With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passenger door handle, grab the front
passenger door handle to unlock all four doors automati-
cally. 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 RKE
Transmitter In Vehicle

To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry RKE transmitter 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 position.

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 RKE
transmitters. If one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE
transmitters is detected inside the vehicle, and no other
valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters are detected out-
side 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 RKE transmitter can be locked in the vehicle).

NOTE:

The vehicle will only unlock the doors when the

doors are locked using the door panel switch, a valid
Passive Entry RKE transmitter is detected inside the
vehicle, and no valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter is
detected outside the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock
the doors when any of the following conditions are true:

• The doors are locked using the RKE transmitter.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

• The doors are locked using the LOCK button on the

Passive Entry door handles.

• The doors are manually locked using the door lock

knobs.

• There is a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter outside

the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive
Entry door handle.

• Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the

door panel switch and then close the doors.

To Enter The Trunk

With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 3 ft
(1.0 m) of the deck lid, push the button on the right side
of CHMSL, (Center High Mounted Stop Light) which is
located on the deck lid.

NOTE:

If you inadvertently leave your vehicle’s Passive

Entry RKE transmitter in the trunk and try to close the
trunk lid, the trunk lid will automatically unlatch, unless
another one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE transmit-
ters is outside the vehicle and within 3 ft (1.0 m) of the
deck lid.
