Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security alarm:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the “OFF”

mode.

• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make sure

the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF.

2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:

• Push the lock button on the interior power door lock

switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.

• Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry

Door Handle with a valid key fob available in the same
exterior zone (refer to

To Disarm The System

The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:

• Grasp the passive entry door handle to unlock the door,

refer to

⬙Doors⬙ in ⬙Getting To Know Your Vehicle⬙ for

system.

NOTE:
• The driver’s door key cylinder and the liftgate button on

the key fob cannot arm or disarm the vehicle security
alarm.

• The vehicle security alarm remains armed during power

liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate button will not disarm
the vehicle security alarm. If someone enters the vehicle
through the liftgate and opens any door, the alarm will
sound.

• When the vehicle security alarm is armed, the interior

power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.

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
security 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 security alarm.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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.

Security System Manual Override

The vehicle security alarm will not arm if you lock the
doors using the manual door lock plunger.

Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry

The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehi-

“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.

raining/snowing on 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 re-lock and
if equipped will arm the security alarm.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

• The key fob may not be able to be detected by the vehicle

passive entry system if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device; these devices

time set by the customer (0, 30, 60, or 90 seconds), and
flashes the turn signal lights. Refer to “Uconnect Set-

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 if the ignition is OFF.

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.

NOTE:

The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid

Passive Entry key fob is detected inside the vehicle. The
vehicle will not unlock the doors when any of the follow-
ing conditions are true:
• 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.

• If the liftgate is opened and then all 4 doors are locked,

the key fob will become locked in the vehicle if the
liftgate is closed and will not alert the customer.

To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate

The liftgate passive entry unlock feature is built into
liftgate handle release. With a valid Passive Entry key fob
within 5ft (1.5m) of the liftgate, push the electronic liftgate
release to open with one fluid motion.

To Lock The Liftgate

With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5ft (1.5m) of the
liftgate, push the passive entry lock button located to the
left of liftgate handle release.
