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 may be programmed on/off

through Uconnect Settings

Ú

page 123.



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 and unlocking the vehicle.



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 the Passive Entry

door handle, and no door goes ajar within

60 seconds, the vehicle will relock and if

equipped, the Vehicle Security system will arm.

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’s door automatically.

Grabbing the passenger door handle will unlock all

doors and the liftgate 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

Ú

page 123.



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.
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 ajar.



A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door

handle while a door is ajar.



A lock request is made by the door panel switch

while the door is ajar.

When any of these situations occur, after all ajar

doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be

executed. If it detects a Passive Entry key fob

inside the car, and it does not detect any Passive

Entry key fobs outside the car, then 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, and no valid Passive Entry key fob is

2

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

detected outside the vehicle. The vehicle will not

unlock the doors when any of the following condi

-

tions are met:



The doors are manually locked using the door

lock knobs.



There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the

vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive

Entry door handle.

To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fobs

within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either front door handles,

pushing the Passive Entry lock button will lock the

vehicle.

Push The Door Handle Button To Lock

NOTE:

DO NOT grab the door handle, when pushing the

door handle lock button. This could unlock the

door(s).

DO NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking

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 to allow you to check if the vehicle is

locked by pulling the door handle without the

vehicle unlocking.



The Passive Entry system will not operate if the

key fob battery is depleted.

The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the

lock button located on the vehicle’s interior door

panel.

ESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of

injury by restricting head movement in the event of

a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted

so that the top of the head restraint is located

above the top of your ear.

Front Adjustment

Your vehicle is equipped with driver and passenger

head restraints.

Front Head Restraint

Rear Adjustment

Your vehicle is equipped with two outboard head

restraints and one center head restraint for its rear

passengers. The rear head restraints can be raised

or lowered. When the center seat is being

occupied, the head restraint should be in the

raised position. When there are no occupants in

the center seat, the head restraint can be lowered

for maximum visibility for the driver.

WARNING!



Persons who are unable to feel pain to the

skin because of advanced age, chronic illness,

diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication,

alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical

condition must exercise care when using the

seat heater. It may cause burns even at low

temperatures, especially if used for long

periods of time.



Do not place anything on the seat or seatback

that insulates against heat, such as a blanket

or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to

overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been over

-

heated could cause serious burns due to the

increased surface temperature of the seat.

WARNING!



All occupants, including the driver, should not

operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until

the head restraints are placed in their proper

positions in order to minimize the risk of neck

injury in the event of a crash.



Head restraints should never be adjusted

while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle

with the head restraints improperly adjusted

or removed could cause serious injury or

death in the event of a collision.

The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control

system provides increased forward lighting at night

by automating high beam control through the use

of a digital camera mounted on the windshield.

This camera detects vehicle specific light and

automatically switches from high beams to low

beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:



The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control

can be turned on or off through Uconnect

Settings

page 123.



Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and

taillights of vehicles in the field of view will

cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to

the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstruc

-

tions on the windshield or camera lens will

cause the system to function improperly.

This system automatically turns the headlights on

or off according to ambient light levels. To turn the

system on, rotate the headlight switch clockwise to

the last detent (AUTO position) for automatic

headlight operation. To turn the automatic system

off, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO

position.
NOTE:

The ignition must be in the ON/RUN or START

position before the headlights will come on in the

automatic mode.

Light Sensor

The light sensor is equipped with an infrared LED,

located on the windshield. It detects changes in

light intensity outside the vehicle, based on the

sensitivity of light set by using the menu on the

display or on the Uconnect system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the amount of

external light required for controlling the lighting.

The front fog light switch is built into the headlight

switch.

Front Fog Light Switch

To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking

lights or the low beam headlights and push the fog

light button on the headlight switch. To turn off the

front fog lights, push the headlight switch a second

time or turn off the headlight switch.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster

illuminates when the fog lights are turned on.
NOTE:



The fog lights will operate with the low beam

headlights or parking lights on. Selecting the

high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.



The fog lights also function as cornering lights.

Therefore there will be times when only one light

is on.



If the ignition is placed in the OFF position with

the fog lights on, they will remain on when the

ignition is placed back in the ON/RUN position.



For vehicles sold in Canada, if the selector is

moved to the parking lights position and the

front fog lights are activated, the DRL will be

deactivated and the front parking lights will be

activated. Once the front fog lights are deacti

-

vated, the DRL will be activated again.
