THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 37 • If a passive entry door handle has not been used for 72 hours, the passive entry feature for the handle may time out. Pulling the deactivated front door handle will reactivate the door handle's passive entry feature. • If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been raining on the passive entry door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower response time. • If you unlock the doors using the passive entry door handles, but do NOT pull the handle, the doors will automatically lock after 60 seconds. To Unlock From The Driver's Side: With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver's door handle, grab the driver's front door handle to unlock the driver's door automatically. The interior door panel lock knob will raise when the door is unlocked. 2 Grabbing The Driver's Door Handle NOTE: If "Unlock All Doors 1st Press" is programmed all doors will unlock when you grab hold of the driver's front door handle. To select between "Unlock Driver Door 1st Press" and "Unlock All Doors 1st Press", refer to "Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
