Keys, Doors, and Windows Keyless Access Operation Some vehicles have a keyless access system that lets you lock and unlock the doors and access the trunk without removing the RKE transmitter from your pocket, purse, briefcase, etc. The RKE transmitter should be within 1 m (3 ft) of the door or trunk being opened. Keyless Unlocking With the RKE transmitter within 1 m (3 ft), approach the front door and pull the handle to unlock and open the door. If the transmitter is recognized, the door will unlock and open. Entering any door other than the driver door will always cause all of the doors to unlock. This is not customizable. To customize which doors unlock when the driver door is opened, see "Door Unlock Options" under Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑40. Lock Sensor Keyless Trunk Opening 2-5 Lift up on the touch pad located above the license plate to open the trunk if the RKE transmitter is within range. Programming Transmitters to the Vehicle Only RKE transmitters programmed to the vehicle will work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased and programmed through your dealer. The vehicle can be reprogrammed so that lost or stolen transmitters no longer work. Any remaining transmitters will need to be reprogrammed. Each vehicle can have up to five transmitters matched to it. When all doors are closed and the ignition is off, the vehicle can be locked by pressing this area on the door handle. This feature will be available for several minutes after the vehicle has been turned off.
