NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the lift-
gate button on the key fob cannot arm or
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
The vehicle security alarm remains armed
during liftgate entry. 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.
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.
Disabling
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. in the
case of long inactivity of the car), lock the
doors by turning the vehicle key in the exte-
rior door lock cylinder.
NOTE:
If the batteries in the key fob discharge in the
event of a failure to the system or to switch off
the alarm, place the ignition in the ON/RUN
position.
DOORS
Keyless Enter-N-Go Passive Entry 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. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock the
vehicle’s door(s) without having to push the
key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry can be enabled or disabled.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” in the Owner’s Manual for further in-
formation.
If wearing gloves on your hands, 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 the Passive
Entry Door Handle, and no door is opened
within 60 seconds, the vehicle will re-lock
and if equipped, the security alarm will
arm.
The key fob may not be able to be detected
by the vehicle keyless-go 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 pre-
vent the keyless-go system from starting
the vehicle.
