24 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! NOTE: Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil- dren 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. Passive Entry may be programmed on/off through the Uconnect system Ъ page 189.
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 block the key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the passive entry handle from locking/unlocking the vehicle. Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children, and do not leave Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Driver Power Door Lock Switches If set by the customer in the Uconnect Settings, unlocking with Passive Entry will initiate illumi- nated approach (low beams, license plate lamp, position lamps) for the time 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Passive Entry also initiates two flashes of the turn lamps. If you push the power door lock switch while the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, and any front door is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents you from accidentally locking your keys in the vehicle. Placing the ignition in the OFF position or closing the door will allow the locks to operate.
A chime will sound if the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position and a door is open, as a reminder to place the ignition in the OFF position and remove the key fob. K EYLESS E NTER N G O ASSIVE E NTRY 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. P OWER D OOR L OCKS — I F E QUIPPED A power door lock switch is on each front door trim panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors. If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will relock and will arm the security system (if equipped).
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system and a feature of Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry. This feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) without having to push the key fob lock or unlock buttons. The sliding side doors can be unlocked from the outside using the hands-free or Passive Entry system.
