General Information
The system will not function if:
- The vehicle battery has no charge.
- The passive key battery has no charge.
- The passive key frequencies are jammed.
- The door handle is not clean.
Note:
If the system does not function, you will need to use the key blade to lock and unlock your vehicle.
The system allows you to operate your vehicle without the use of a key or remote control.
Passive locking and unlocking requires a valid passive key to be located within one of the three external detection ranges. These are located approximately
5 ft (1.5 m) from the front door handles and the liftgate.
Note:
The system may not function if the passive key is close to metal objects or electronic devices, for example keys or a cell phone.
Passive Key
Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked using the passive key. You can also use the passive key as a remote control to lock and unlock your vehicle. See
Locking and Unlocking.

The locking sensors are on the front door handles.
Touch a locking sensor once to lock your vehicle and arm the alarm.
For vehicles with double locking, touch a locking sensor twice within three seconds to double lock your vehicle and arm the alarm.
