Passive Locking
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this feature allows
you to select whether the doors
automatically lock during normal
vehicle exit. When the vehicle is
turned off and all doors are closed,
the vehicle will determine how many
RKE transmitters remain in the
vehicle interior. If at least one RKE
transmitter has been removed from
the interior of the vehicle, the doors
will lock after eight seconds.
Temporarily disable the locking
feature by pressing and holding the
power door switch for several
seconds with a door open. Passive
locking will then remain disabled
until the door switch is pressed,
or until the vehicle is turned on.
To customize whether the doors
automatically lock when exiting the
vehicle, see

Keyless Trunk Opening
Lift up on the touch pad located
above the license plate to open the
trunk if the RKE transmitter is within
1 m (3 ft).
Programming Transmitters to
the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed
to the vehicle will work. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased and
programmed through your dealer.
The vehicle can be reprogrammed
so that lost or stolen transmitters no
longer work. Any remaining
transmitters will need to be
reprogrammed. Each vehicle can
have up to eight transmitters
matched to it.
Programming with a Recognized
Transmitter (Keyless Access
Vehicles Only)
A new transmitter can be
programmed to the vehicle when
there is one recognized transmitter.
To program, the vehicle must be off
and all of the transmitters, both
currently recognized and new, must
be with you.
