Passive Door Lock
If the vehicle has the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system, when enabled, this feature allows the doors to lock after several seconds if all doors are closed and at least one RKE transmitter has been removed from the interior of the vehicle. It does not matter how far away the RKE transmitter is from the vehicle. This feature can also be configured to chirp the horn when the doors are passively locked.
Press the MENU/SELECT knob when Passive Door Lock is highlighted. Turn the knob to select On With Chirp, On, or Off.
Press the knob to confirm and go back to the last menu.
