Important limits
- Gripping the handle while pressing its lock button can send an unlock request.
- Phones, laptops, gloves, water, snow, salt or dirt can reduce fob or handle detection.
- Disabling Passive Entry in the radio also disables its protection against leaving the fob inside.
Quick checks.
- ✓Move the fob away from electronics and closer to the handle.
- ✓Clean and dry the sensing surface and confirm Passive Entry is enabled in the radio.
- ✓Use the key-fob buttons and replace a depleted fob battery if the handle remains unresponsive.
