The Passive Entry system is a feature that allows

you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and

tailgate without having to push the key fob lock or

unlock buttons.

NOTE:



Passive Entry may be programmed on/off

through Uconnect Settings

page 228.



The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle

Passive Entry system if it is located next to a

mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device;

these devices may interfere with the key fob’s

wireless signal and prevent the Passive Entry

system from locking/unlocking the vehicle.



Passive Entry Unlock initiates Headlight Illumi

nation On Approach (low beams, license plate

lamp, parking lights) for whichever time dura

tion is set within the Uconnect Settings between

0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Passive Entry Unlock

also initiates two flashes of the turn signal

lamps.



If wearing gloves, or if it has been 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 relock and, if equipped, will arm the

Vehicle Security system.

To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft

(1.5 m) of the door handle, grab the handle to

unlock the vehicle. Grabbing the driver’s door

handle will unlock the driver door automatically.

Grabbing the passenger door handle will unlock all

doors and the tailgate automatically.

Grab The Door Handle To Unlock

NOTE:



Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock

when you grab hold of the front driver’s door

handle, depending on the selected setting in the

Uconnect system

page 228.



All doors will unlock when the front passenger

door handle is grabbed regardless of the

driver’s door unlock preference setting.

Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key

(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 ignition switch is in the OFF position.



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. A child

could operate power windows, other controls,

or move the vehicle.

WARNING!

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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 closed, the FOBIK-Safe search will be

executed. If it detects a Passive Entry key fob

inside the vehicle, the vehicle will unlock and alert

the customer. If Passive Entry is disabled using the

Uconnect system, the key protection described in

this section 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 5 ft (1.5 m) 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 the doors

are closed.

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, pushing the Passive Entry lock

button will lock the vehicle doors.

Push The Door Handle Button To Lock

NOTE:

When pushing the door handle lock button, DO

NOT grab the door handle. This could unlock the

door(s).

DO NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking

NOTE:



After pushing the door handle button, the driver

must wait three seconds before locking or

unlocking the doors, using any Passive Entry

door handle. This is done to allow the driver to

check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the door

handle without the vehicle 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

Check Door Latch And Striker Alignment

NOTE:

Only adjust the door to fit correctly against the

striker. DO NOT adjust the striker, as this could

affect the positioning of the full door.
If the door does not center align between the latch

and the striker, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen (do not remove) the four bolts on the

door hinges using the provided #T50 Torx

head driver.

Hinge Bolt Locations

2. With the bolts loose, hold the door in the

almost closing position, and check that the

latch and striker align.

3. With the latch and striker aligned, proceed

to close the door softly and tighten the

hinge bolts to 20.3 ft· lb / 27.5 N·m

(Max Torque: 27.3 ft· lb / 37 N·m).

Lower Door Adjustment

CAUTION!

Upon first installation of the half-doors, slowly

set the door almost to the closing position and

check how the door latch aligns with the body

striker. Touch condition between these

components can result in damage to both the

door and the striker.

CAUTION!

Upon first installation of the half-doors, slowly

close each door to check for body contact.

Improper setting of the door hinges can cause

extreme non-uniform conditions, and result in

damage to the body around the door.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

If the door does not latch properly after

installation, if there is interference between the

panels, or if a non-uniform gap around the door is

observed when the door is closed (example: door

position appears to be low and too far rearward),

the position of the door on its hinges may need to

be adjusted. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen (do not remove) the four bolts on the

door hinges using the provided #T50 Torx

head driver.

Hinge Bolt Locations

NOTE:

Do not adjust the body mounted hinges, or any part

of the door latch, as modifications to these parts

will affect installation of the full door.

2. With the bolts loose, the door can be moved

forward by pushing the door handle toward the

front of the vehicle, and/or upward by grabbing

the door handle and lifting towards the roof.

3. Once the gaps between the door and vehicle

body are uniform around the entire door,

tighten the door hinge bolts to 20.3 ft· lb /

27.5 N·m (Max Torque: 27.3 ft· lb / 37 N·m).

Upper Door Adjustment
After installation of the half-doors, if water leaks or

wind noise is observed, the seal of the upper

half-door to the door opening may need to be

adjusted.
To determine if the upper half-door needs to be

adjusted, proceed as follows:
1. Determine which door is affected.
2. Open the affected door and hold a dollar-size

piece of paper along the top of the door

opening against the vehicle near where the

leak/noise was observed. Make sure half of

the paper is above the area where the door

seal contacts the door opening, while the other

half is below.

3. Close the door on the paper, then pull the

paper upward. If the paper moves with little to

no effort, the upper half-door will need to be

adjusted in that area to increase seal

compression.

Performing A Paper Test

There is another optional test that can be

performed using a flashlight and the help of

another person.
One person should be inside the vehicle, and move

the flashlight around the periphery of the door

seal, shining outward. The other person should

stand outside of the vehicle and check for light

passing by the seal. If light is seen through the seal

area, the door will need to be adjusted.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

To adjust the seal compression, proceed as

follows:
1. Open the door and lift the upper half-door up

and away from the lower half. Lay the upper

half-door on a clean, dry surface.

2. Using an 8 mm open-end wrench (not

provided), loosen the nut located inside the

bottom of the upper half-door post, closest to

where the “paper test” detected a gap.

Nut Location Inside Bottom Of Post

3. Using a 3 mm Allen wrench (not provided),

rotate the screw on the side of the post

counterclockwise (while holding the wrench on

the loosened bolt) to increase the seal

compression. If needed, rotate clockwise to

reduce seal compression.

Rotate Screw For Seal Compression

4. Tighten the nut inside the bottom of the post

using the wrench and make sure the screw

head is flush to the post. Reinstall the upper

half-door.
