You can turn on the passive feature by moving the
transmitter’s slider switch to ON. Now, when you move
toward your vehicle with the key fob transmitter, the
system will automatically disarm your theft

system and unlock the driver’s door or both depending
on how the system is programmed. If it’s dark enough
outside, your interior lamps will come on.
You can also use the buttons on the transmitter to
actively unlock your vehicle. Press UNLOCK once to
unlock the driver’s door, or press UNLOCK again
within 10 seconds to unlock both doors.
Your memory settings will also be recalled when you
press the active door UNLOCK button on the key
fob transmitter. See “Memory” in the Index for
more information.
The hatch/trunk lid will unlock when the button with the

The system has a feature that makes it difficult for you
to lock your keys in your vehicle. If you leave your keys
in the ignition and attempt to lock the doors, the vehicle
will not lock and a chime will sound to remind you that
the keys are in the ignition. If the door lock is pressed
again, within five seconds, the doors will lock and the
keys can be locked in the vehicle. If you leave the keys
in the ignition and move away with the key fob
transmitter, the doors still will not lock. You should
notice that the horn doesn’t sound.
