ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the keyless entry system not
function?
If the system does not function it may
be limited. See Keyless Entry
Limitations (page 83). If the system
still does not function use the remote
control or the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
Why can I not lock my vehicle?
If you electronically lock your vehicle
with a rear door or the liftgate open,
the system searches for a passive key
inside your vehicle after you close the
last door. If the system detects a key,
all doors unlock indicating that a key
is inside. Your vehicle locks if another
passive key is within the detection
range after you close the last door.
