GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY

Your vehicle is equipped with a Lithium-ion high voltage
battery that is used to power the electric powertrain
systems and the 12 Volt vehicle electrical system.

The high voltage battery is located under the rear seat.

Lithium-ion batteries provide the following benefits:

•

Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter than other
types of rechargeable batteries of the same size.

•

Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge; they only
lose approximately three percent of their charge per
month.

•

Lithium-ion batteries have no memory, which means
that you do not have to completely discharge them
before recharging, as with some other batteries.

•

Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and dis-
charged thousands of times.

High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect

The high voltage battery service disconnect is located
under the access panel, under the left side rear seat.
Only a qualified service technician should access the
high voltage battery service disconnect.

If your vehicle requires high voltage battery service, see
an authorized dealer.

WARNING!

•

Never try to remove the high voltage battery ser-
vice disconnect. The high voltage battery service
disconnect is used when your vehicle requires ser-
vice by a qualified technician at an authorized
dealership. Failure to follow this warning can result
in electrical shock, toxic emissions, fire, and other
hazards which can cause death or serious injury
including severe burns, respiratory injuries, and
blindness.

•

The high voltage battery and battery case have no
parts that you or an unqualified technician can
service. Under no circumstances should you or an
unqualified technician open, disassemble, pen-
etrate, or tamper with the high voltage battery, bat-
tery case, their cables, or connectors. Damage to
these components can result in electrical shock,
toxic emissions, fire, and other hazards which can
cause death or serious injury including severe
burns, respiratory injuries, and blindness. You
should take the vehicle to an authorized dealer-
ship for any service or maintenance on these high
voltage components.

•

The high voltage system can be hot during and
after starting, and when the vehicle is shut off or
charging. Be careful of both the high voltage and
the high temperature. Failure to do so can result in
severe burns.

Disposal of the High Voltage Battery

Your vehicle’s high voltage battery is designed to last
the life of your vehicle. See an authorized dealer for
information on the disposal of the battery if it should
require replacement.

WARNING!

Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium-ion high voltage
battery. If the battery is disposed of improperly, there is
a risk of electrical shock and toxic emissions which can
cause severe burns, respiratory injuries, fires, and other
hazards resulting in serious injury or death.

General Information

The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Manage-
ment system that is designed to:

•

Ensure safe operation

•

Maximize driving range

•

Maximize the life expectancy of the high voltage
battery

NOTE:

During vehicle start up and shut down, a clicking noise
may be heard from within the vehicle. When the vehicle
is preparing to start, the high voltage battery contactors
inside the battery are closed to make the stored elec-
tricity inside available for vehicle use. After the vehicle
is shut down, the contactors open, to electrically isolate
the battery from other vehicle systems. The clicking
noise is the sound of these contactors as they open
and close during normal operation.

WARNING!

In the event of a collision:

•

If your vehicle is still drivable, pull off to the side of
the road when safe to do so, place the transmis-
sion in the PARK position, apply the parking brake,
and turn the vehicle off.

•

Beware of any exposed high-voltage parts or
cables. To avoid electrical shock which can result
in serious injury or death, never touch wiring, con-
nectors, and other high-voltage parts, such as the
inverter unit and the Lithium-ion battery.

•

Leaks or damage to the Lithium-ion battery may
result in a fire and toxic emissions which can
cause severe burns, respiratory injuries, and other
serious injuries or death. If you discover these
leaks, contact emergency services immediately.
Since the fluid leak may be Lithium Manganate
from the Lithium-ion battery, never touch the fluid
leak inside or outside of the vehicle. If the fluid
contacts your skin or eyes, wash these areas
immediately with a large amount of water and
obtain immediate medical attention to help avoid
serious injury.

•

If a fire occurs inside your vehicle, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible. Only use a type ABC,
BC, or C fire extinguisher that is meant for use on
electrical fires. Using a small amount of water, or
the incorrect fire extinguisher can result in serious
injury or death from electrical shock.

•

If you are not able to safely assess the vehicle due to
vehicle damage, do not touch the vehicle. Leave the
vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise first
responders that this is a hybrid-electric vehicle.

WARNING!

•

In the event of an accident that requires bodywork,
refer to an authorized dealership.

BATTERY CONDITIONING

In extreme temperatures, high or low, the high voltage
battery may need to be conditioned, and therefore may
require the vehicle to be plugged in.

If the ambient temperature is 5°F (-15°C) or below at
vehicle shut down, the instrument cluster will display
the message “Plug In Vehicle To Condition Battery”.

If the battery temperature is below -22°F (-30°C), or
131°F (55°C) or above, the vehicle will NOT start:

•

If the vehicle is plugged in at these battery tempera-
tures, the instrument cluster will display the mes-
sage “Please Leave Key In RUN — Battery Condition-
ing Needed”.

•

If the vehicle is not plugged in at these battery tem-
peratures, the “Plug In Vehicle To Condition Battery”
will be shown in the instrument cluster display.

NOTE:

•

When the “Please Leave Key In RUN — Battery Con-
ditioning Needed” message is displayed, keep the
ignition in the RUN position for the battery to
recover. Place the ignition back in the OFF position
when the message disappears, and then start the
vehicle. When this message is displayed, do not
operate any air conditioning controls.

•

Under these high or low temperatures, while the
vehicle is plugged in and the ignition is in the OFF
position, the vehicle may “wake up” to precondition
the high voltage battery for use.

•

It is recommended that the vehicle be plugged in
overnight when possible to maximize the electric
range of the vehicle.

•

It is recommended that the high voltage battery not
be exposed to direct sunlight in high temperature
environments while the vehicle is OFF. This may
lower the life of the battery.

The messages will only be displayed when the ignition
is in the RUN position and the high voltage battery is
not ready to provide propulsion power. The messages
will also display if there was a failed attempt to achieve
READY state when the high voltage battery cell tem-
peratures were either too cold, or too hot.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM
(RBS)

Your vehicle has a RBS. The RBS replenishes the vehi-
cle's high voltage battery during deceleration, and is
particularly useful in stop-and-go city traffic. The elec-
tric motors, which propel the vehicle forward, can oper-
ate as generators when braking. The RBS recharges the
high voltage battery under certain braking conditions by
recapturing energy that would otherwise be lost while
braking. The electric power that is generated goes back
into the high voltage battery for later use, for example
when acceleration is desired.

The RBS uses conventional hydraulic friction brakes,
regenerative braking, or a combination to slow the
vehicle. If the system detects slippery conditions while
braking, ONLY friction is used to slow the vehicle. The
RBS can result in extended life of the hydraulic service
brakes; however, all inspection, scheduled mainte-
nance, and service intervals for the vehicle service
brakes must be followed.

Max Regeneration

Max Regeneration is a supplemental feature of the
RBS. When activated, it will use the RBS to help slow
the vehicle when the driver releases the accelerator
pedal. This feature allows you to moderately reduce
driving speed without pressing the brake pedal. It is
always necessary to apply the brake pedal to bring the
vehicle to a complete stop.

This feature can be activated by pressing the Max
Regeneration button, below the radio screen.

NOTE:

The Max Regeneration feature will remain on once
selected, even after the vehicle is restarted.

E-SELECT MODE

This system allows the driver to select different modes
by pushing the following buttons located below the
headlight switch.

•

Hybrid: Depletes electric range first, then gas range.

○

Automatically switches between using gas and
battery for greatest efficiency and performance.

○

Best HVAC and acceleration performance.

○

Default Mode.

•

Electric: Prevents the engine from running, unless
you absolutely need it.

○

Acceleration and heating performance may be
degraded.

○

Engine will switch on during a Wide Open Throttle
(WOT) event, or if cruise control requires it.

○

Vehicle will automatically switch to Hybrid mode
upon reaching 0% State Of Charge (SOC) or due
to system needs.

○

Not allowed with manual gate operation unless in
4WD Low and Selec-Speed Control (SSC) is
active.

•

e-Save: Engine only. Saves the current SOC/Electric
range for later.

○

SOC/Electric range may increase, but will not
decrease under most driving conditions. Under
heavy load, such as while pulling a trailer, SOC
may decrease.

○

Engine may turn off at a stop.

○

You can further customize the e-Save operation
in the radio,

AC LEVEL 2 CHARGING
(240 VOLT, 40 AMP)

AC Level 2 (240 Volt) charging requires a 240 Volt,
Level 2 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) charg-
ing station. A 40 Amp Level 2 EVSE for home installa-
tion is recommended.

When using public charging stations, ensure the charging
station is ready to provide charge and the vehicle is in
PARK before the Level 2 EVSE is plugged into the vehicle’s
charge inlet. You will hear a “click” when the charge con-
nector is inserted correctly and is coupled with the vehi-
cle’s charge inlet.

NOTE:

The vehicle should start charging automatically. If not,
please check the following:

•

Charging Station — Check the indications and
instructions at the charging station.

•

Charging Schedule — Check whether the charging
schedule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle is
currently within the scheduled charge time/day
(weekday/weekend). If the charging schedule is
enabled within the vehicle, you may override it for this
charging event by plugging in the charge connector,
unplugging it, and then plugging it back into the
vehicle charge inlet. Complete the double plug
sequence within 10 seconds for it to override the set
schedule.

•

Hood Ajar — Check whether the hood is open. Charg-
ing is disabled while the hood is open, and will
resume when the hood closes.

To stop the charging process:

•

Press the “STOP” button located on the front of the
EVSE station.

•

Press the button located on the Level 2 EVSE
vehicle connector.

•

Remove the connector from the vehicle charge inlet.

•

Plug the charge handle into the Level 2 EVSE station
and coil the charging cord onto its holder. Do not
leave the charging cord lying on the ground.

CHARGING TIMES

The following factors determine the time it takes to
charge the high voltage battery:

•

The high voltage battery’s current state of charge

•

The type of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
(EVSE) used (Level 1 – 120 V or Level 2 – 240 V)

•

Ambient temperature

•

Whether the vehicle’s ignition is in the RUN position
during charging

NOTE:

•

The following charging times are estimates based
on charging a high voltage battery that has a <1%
State Of Charge (SOC) value displayed in the instru-
ment cluster.

•

Charging times will vary based on the age, condi-
tion, SOC, available current being provided to the
charger from its energy source, and temperature of
the high voltage battery.

•

Charging times may be longer if a thermal self-
protection reduces the charging current from the
EVSE being used.

•

If the vehicle’s ignition is in either the ACC or RUN
position, the vehicle charge indicator may not indi-
cate greater than a 99% SOC and will continue to
charge the vehicle, due to the vehicle loads.

Type of EVSE

Estimated Charge Time

Level 1
(120 V/15 A)

VEHICLE CHARGE INDICATORS

Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Display

There is a battery display indicator located on the
instrument cluster. The battery display will indicate the
current State Of Charge (SOC) for the high voltage bat-
tery; with the percentage value located to the right of
the symbol. When plugged in, the battery symbol also
indicates the battery level along with messages about
the charge or whether the system is waiting to charge
due to the charge schedule. These will appear unless
there is a charging fault. A green plug telltale will be
shown in the cluster, as well as applicable messaging
when charging.

Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator

In addition to the battery display in the instrument clus-
ter, your vehicle is equipped with a visual SOC indicator.
The SOC indicator is made up of four lights that are
mounted to the top center of the instrument panel,
which will illuminate when the vehicle is plugged into
the charging system.

The SOC indicator provides a visual indication of the
high voltage battery’s charge status during charging. It
is also used to indicate a charging problem as well as
waiting for a scheduled charge to begin.

NOTE:

•

The lights scroll one at a time when the vehicle is
plugged in outside of its charging schedule time/day
of the week, and it is waiting on the schedule to
begin charging.

•

In extreme hot or cold environments, the lights on
the SOC indicator may not illuminate. Charge status
is available in the instrument cluster display. In the
event of an error in the charging process, the outer
two lights will blink.

•

When the hood is open, the lights on the SOC indi-
cator will not be illuminated.

6. To add another Scheduled Charging event, repeat

these steps.

NOTE:

A maximum of two independent Scheduled Charging
events can be scheduled at a given time.

If “Charge Until Full” is selected, the vehicle must be
plugged in within five minutes of the start time. The
following are situations in which “Charge Until Full” may
not be honored:

•

If selected for five days (Monday through Friday),
and the vehicle is plugged in five or more minutes
after the start time on any of those days, “Charge
Until Full” will not be honored for that day. “Charge
Until Full” will resume on the next day at the sched-
uled time.

•

If there are multiple plug/unplug events after first
being plugged in within five minutes, “Charge Until
Full” will not be honored for that day.

•

If other schedules (Charge Interval, etc.) are set at a
later time in addition to “Charge Until Full” being
selected, and the vehicle is plugged in five or more
minutes after the scheduled start time, “Charge
Until Full” will not be honored for that day. The next
available schedule will be followed.

NOTE:

•

If the charging schedule is not enabled, the vehicle
will charge whenever plugged in. It is not necessary
to set up the charging schedule to charge the
vehicle.

•

If the vehicle is plugged in outside of the charging
schedule set in the Uconnect system (and Charge
Until Full is not selected), the vehicle’s battery will
not charge. Charging will only begin immediately if
the vehicle is plugged in within the time and day of
the week set in the schedule. Otherwise, charging
will automatically begin when the selected charge
time/day of the week occurs or whenever the
vehicle is plugged in with no charge schedule set.

•

Scheduled Charging may be bypassed and charging
will begin automatically if the high voltage battery
State Of Charge (SOC) is below its optimal operating
point.

•

If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging
window, a radio pop-up message will be displayed,
which provides an option to begin charging the
vehicle immediately. The pop-up message asks the
driver if they would like to “Charge Now?” and pro-
vides other information, including the next charging
schedule start time and estimated time to charge
the battery to 100%. If within one hour of selecting
“Yes,” the vehicle is connected to a powered Charg-
ing Cable, the vehicle will immediately begin to
charge (temporarily ignoring any set charge sched-
ule). To fully deactivate the charge schedule, refer to
the “Schedules” feature within the Hybrid Electric
App.

•

The charging schedule can also be overridden if the
Charging Cable is plugged in, unplugged, and then
plugged in a second time to the vehicle. After the
first plug in ofthe vehicle, wait until the battery
charge indicator on the instrument panel lights up
before unplugging. This “double plug sequence” will
override the schedule that is set in the radio, and

begin charging the vehicle immediately. The double
plug sequence must be completed within 10 sec-
onds for it to override the programmed schedule.

•

If “Charge Until Full” is selected, and the vehicle is
plugged in after the start time of the schedule, the
vehicle will start charging when it reaches the start
time the next day. If you would like to begin charging
immediately, and continue charging until the vehicle
is fully charged, you can select the “Charge Now”
option or use the double plug override option.

There is also a Climate Schedule which can be set and
managed for climate or cabin conditioning.

SCHEDULE BYPASS

NOTE:

If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging win-
dow, a radio pop-up message will be displayed. The
pop-up message asks the driver if they would like to
“Charge Now?” and provides the next charging sched-
ule start time and estimated time to charge the battery
to 100%. If within one hour of selecting “Yes”, the
vehicle is connected to a powered EVSE, the vehicle will
immediately begin to charge (temporarily ignoring any
set charge schedule). To fully deactivate the charge
schedule, select the “Enable Schedule” checkbox until
the check mark is removed from the box.

The charging schedule can also be overridden if an
EVSE is plugged in, unplugged, and then plugged in a
second time to the vehicle. This double plug sequence
will override the set schedule in the Hybrid Electric
Pages App, and begin charging the vehicle immediately.
The double plug sequence must be completed within
10 seconds for it to override the programmed schedule.

rized dealer. This procedure consists of programming a
blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob
is one that has never been programmed.

NOTE:

•

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an autho-
rized dealer.

•

Key fob with mechanical flip key must be ordered to
the correct key cut to match the vehicle locks.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthor-
ized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The sys-
tem does not need to be armed or activated. Operation
is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.

The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition
and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unau-
thorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that
are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a
key fob obtained from another vehicle.

After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the
Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for
a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a problem with the elec-
tronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after the
bulb check, it indicates that someone attempted to
start the engine with an invalid key fob. If a valid key fob
is used to start the engine but there is an issue with the
vehicle electronics, the engine will start and shut off
after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal
vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than
10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the elec-
tronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as
soon as possible by an authorized dealer.

SCHEDULED CABIN CONDITIONING
(SCC)

This feature allows the driver to pre-condition (warm up
or cool down) the passenger cabin based on a planned
departure time. The target temperature is preset to the
same values used by the Remote Start feature. Unlike
Remote Start, the driver does not need to initiate the
cabin conditioning by pushing the Remote Start button,
instead, a programmed departure time will be used.
Also, all scheduled cabin conditioning will be powered
by the vehicle’s high voltage battery working in conjunc-
tion with any EVSE connected to the vehicle. Unlike
Remote Start, in SCC the vehicle’s gas engine will not
start to provide power or heat for cabin conditioning.

In order to conserve the vehicle’s high voltage battery
power, the driver can choose between allowing the bat-
tery to be drained of power down to <1%, or to stop the
SCC when the high voltage battery has been depleted
to 25% State Of Charge (SOC). The battery percentages
are displayed in the instrument cluster display.

A maximum of three independent schedule event tim-
ers are available for use by the SCC feature and Sched-
uled Charging feature for charging the high voltage bat-
tery. The timers may be used in any combination for
SCC and Scheduled Charging, but only three total tim-
ers are available.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

5538906_24_JL_OM_EN_USC_t_E1.pdf 39

5/22/2023 9:02:18 AM

The SCC event times are used to wake up the vehicle so
that the Climate Control system can condition the pas-
senger cabin prior to the scheduled departure time.
Based on vehicle operating conditions, ambient tem-
perature, and the next programmed departure time, the
vehicle will determine when to begin cabin conditioning.
Cabin conditioning can begin up to 30 minutes prior to
the scheduled departure time, provided the stated high
voltage battery conditions are met.

The SCC will continue for a maximum of 15 minutes
after the scheduled departure time.

Once a scheduled event has been created, it can be
applied to one or more days of the week. The sched-
uled event can also be set to occur only during the cur-
rent week, or repeat every week until the feature is
turned off or the event is changed.

All of the following conditions must be met before the
vehicle will initiate a scheduled SCC event:

•

Gear selector in PARK

•

Doors Closed

•

Hood Closed

•

Liftgate Closed

•

Hazard switch off

•

12 Volt battery at an acceptable charge level

•

Key fob not located inside the vehicle

•

Ignition in the OFF position

•

Remote Start has not been activated

Scheduling An SCC Event:

1. Select the Hybrid Electric App on the touchscreen.

2. Select “Schedules”.

3. Select the schedule to be set (1,2, or 3) by pressing

the appropriate arrow on the right side of the
touchscreen.

4. Choose “Climate Schedule”.

5. Select if SCC should stop when the high voltage bat-

tery drops to 25% or lower.

6. Set the Departure Time: Hours, Minutes, and AM/PM.

7. Select the days that this SCC event will occur. The

“Repeat” indicator illuminates to indicate that SCC
will occur every week on the selected day(s), at the
selected time.

If you uncheck the “Repeat” option, all the days of
the week will be grayed out and the vehicle will per-
form only one SCC event, which will occur at the
next available time that matches the SCC event time
(regardless of what day it was originally set to occur
before “Repeat” was unchecked).

8. To schedule another SCC event, press the X and

repeat these steps.

•

When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the inte-
rior power door lock switches will not unlock the
doors.

The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security system 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 system.

If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system 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 system.

REARMING OF THE SYSTEM

If something triggers the alarm and no action is taken
to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will turn the
horn off after a 29 second cycle (with five seconds
between cycles and up to eight cycles if the trigger
remains active) and then rearm itself.

90 seconds. Passive Entry Unlock also initiates two
flashes of the turn signals.

•

If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing, or
there is salt/dirt covering the Passive Entry door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be affected,
resulting in a slower response time.

•

The doors may unlock when water is sprayed on the
Passive Entry door handles, if the key fob is located
outside of the vehicle within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
handle.

•

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 swing gate
automatically.

NOTE:

Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock when
you grab hold of the front driver’s door handle, depend-
ing on the selected setting in the Uconnect system

page 201.

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.

FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with a START/
STOP ignition. 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
detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle, the
vehicle will unlock and alert the customer. If Passive
Entry is disabled using Uconnect system, the key fob
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 out-
side 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 And Swing Gate

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 and the swing gate.

NOTE:

DO NOT grab the door handle when pushing the door
handle lock button. This could unlock the door(s).

The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the lock
button located on the vehicle’s interior door panel.

To Unlock/Enter The Swing Gate

The swing gate Passive Entry unlock feature is built into
the swing gate handle. With a valid Passive Entry key
fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the swing gate handle, grab
the swing gate handle to unlock the swing gate auto-
matically, and pull the swing gate to open.

To Lock The Swing Gate

With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
the swing gate handle, pushing the Passive Entry lock
button will lock the vehicle doors and the swing gate.

NOTE:

•

After pushing the door handle button, you must wait
two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors,
using any 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 unlocking.

•

If Passive Entry is disabled using the Uconnect Set-
tings, the key fob protection described in "Frequency
Operated Button Integrated Key (FOBIK-Safe)"
remains active/functional.

•

The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key
fob battery is depleted

page 352.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS —
IF EQUIPPED

The Automatic Door Lock feature default condition is
enabled. When enabled, the door locks will lock auto-
matically when the vehicle's speed exceeds 15 mph
(24 km/h). The Automatic Door Lock feature can be
enabled or disabled by an authorized dealer per written
request of the customer. Please see an authorized
dealer for service.

CHILD-PROTECTION DOOR LOCK
SYSTEM — REAR DOORS

To provide a safer environment for small children riding
in the rear seats, the rear doors are equipped with a
Child-Protection Door Lock system.

To use the system, open each rear door, use a flat-
blade screwdriver (or mechanical flip key) and rotate
the dial to the lock or unlock position.

NOTE:

•

When the Child-Protection Door Lock system is
engaged, the door can be opened only by using the
outside door handle even though the inside door
lock is in the unlocked position.

•

After disengaging the Child-Protection Door Lock
system, always test the door from the inside to
make certain it is in the unlocked position.

•

After engaging the Child-Protection Door Lock sys-
tem, always test the door from the inside to make
certain it is in the locked position.

•

For emergency exit with the system engaged, move
the lock lever rearward (located on the door trim
panel), lower the window and open the door with the
outside door handle.

WARNING!

Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision.
Remember that the rear doors can only be opened
from the outside when the Child-Protection locks are
engaged (locked).

NOTE:

Always use this device when carrying children. After
engaging the child lock on both rear doors, check for
effective engagement by trying to open a door with the
internal handle. Once the Child-Protection Door Lock
system is engaged, it is impossible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the car, be
sure to check that there is no one left inside.
