Important limits

  • Rear handles without the four-door option do not provide Passive Entry.
  • FOBIK-Safe can unlock and alert when it detects a valid fob inside, but certain manual or repeated lock sequences can defeat that protection.
  • Do not grip the handle while touching its lock icon.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓Move the fob away from a phone or laptop and closer than 5 ft.
  • ✓Confirm Passive Entry is enabled in Uconnect and try a front handle if a rear handle is not equipped.
  • ✓Use the fob buttons and replace a depleted fob battery if no handle responds.
