NOTE:

If “1st Press Of Key Fob Unlock” is pro-
grammed all doors will unlock when you grab
hold of the front driver’s door handle. To
select between “Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st Press,”
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” in your Owner’s Manual for further infor-
mation.

To Unlock From The Passenger Side

With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passenger door handle, grab
the front passenger door handle to unlock all
doors and the swing gate automatically.

NOTE:

All doors will unlock when the front passen-
ger door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting (“Un-
lock Driver Door 1st Press” or “Unlock All
Doors 1st Press”).

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry
Key Fob In Vehicle (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
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 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 finds a Passive Entry
key fob inside the car, the car will unlock and
alert the customer. If Passive Entry is dis-
abled using Uconnect System, the key pro-
tection described in "Preventing Inadvertent
Locking of Passive Entry Key Fob in Vehicle"
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 outside of the vehicle (within 5ft
of a passive entry door handle).

• The doors are manually locked using the

door lock knobs.
