Keys, Doors, and Windows Keyless Access Operation Some vehicles have the keyless access system that lets you lock and unlock the doors and access the liftgate without removing the remote transmitter from your pocket, purse, briefcase, etc. The keyless entry transmitter must be within 1 m (3 ft) of the door being opened. If the vehicle has this feature, there will be a body colored touch pad on the outside front door handles. Keyless Unlocking With the transmitter within 1 m (3 ft), approach the front door and pull the handle. 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 's door is opened, see "Passive Unlock" under Vehicle Personalization on page 5￿40. Keyless Locking If the vehicle has the keyless access system, this feature allows you to select whether the doors automatically lock during normal vehicle exit. When the vehicle is turned off and all doors become closed, the vehicle will determine how many keyless access transmitters remain in the vehicle interior. If at least one keyless access transmitter has been removed from the interior of the vehicle, the doors will lock after eight seconds. If there are two keyless access transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the other will be locked in. A person approaching the outside of the locked vehicle without an authorized keyless access transmitter will not be able to open the door, even with the transmitter in the vehicle. 2-5 You may temporarily disable the keyless locking feature by pressing and holding the power door unlock button on the instrument panel for several seconds with a door open. Keyless locking will then remain disabled until the door lock switch is pressed, or until the vehicle is turned on. To customize whether the doors automatically lock when you exit the vehicle, see "Passive Locking" under Vehicle Personalization on page 5￿40.
