Keyless Unlocking/Locking from
Passenger Doors
When the doors are locked and the
RKE transmitter is within 1 m (3 ft)
of the door handle, pressing the
lock/unlock button on that door
handle will unlock all doors.
Pressing the lock/unlock button will
cause all doors to lock if any of the
following occur:
.
The lock/unlock button was used
to unlock all doors.
.
Any vehicle door has opened
and all doors are now closed.
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 inside the
vehicle. If at least one RKE
transmitter has been removed from
the vehicle, or none remain in the
vehicle interior, the doors will lock
after several seconds.
Temporarily disable the locking
feature by pressing and holding
K
on the door for several seconds with
a door open. Passive locking will
then remain disabled until
Q is
pressed, or until the vehicle is
turned on.
To customize whether the doors
automatically lock when you exit the
vehicle, see “Remote Lock, Unlock,
Start” under Vehicle Personalization
on page 5-40.
Keyless Trunk Opening
Press the touch pad on the trunk lid
to open the trunk if the RKE
transmitter is within 1 m (3 ft) of the
trunk.
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 (Key Vehicles Only)
To program a new key:
1. Insert the original, already
programmed key in the ignition
and turn to the key to the ON/
RUN position.
2. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF, and
remove the key.
3. Insert the new key to be
programmed and turn it to the
ON/RUN position within
five seconds.
The security light will turn off
once the key has been
programmed.
