Jeep Wrangler: Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry (If Equipped) / Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your
vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock feature which
will function only if the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with a
START/STOP ignition. There are three situations
that trigger a FOBIK-Safe search in any passive
entry vehicle:
- A lock request is made by a valid Passive
Entry key fob while a door is open.
- A lock request is made by the Passive Entry
door handle while a door is open.
- A lock request is made by the door panel
switch while the door is open.
When any of these situations occur, after all
open doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will
be executed. If it finds a Passive Entry key fob
inside the vehicle, the vehicle will unlock and
alert the customer. If Passive Entry is disabled using Uconnect system, the key
protection
described in this section remains active/
functional.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors during a
FOBIK-Safe operation when a valid Passive
Entry key fob is detected inside the vehicle. The
vehicle will not unlock the doors when any of the
following conditions are true:
- A second valid passive entry key fob is
detected outside of the vehicle (within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of a passive entry door handle).
- The doors are manually locked using the door
lock knobs.
- Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch, and then the
doors are closed.
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the door handle, grab the handle to
unlock the vehicle. Grabbing the driver’s door
handle will unlock the driver door automatically...
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fobs
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or passenger
front door handles, pushing the passive entry
lock button will lock the vehicle doors and the
swing gate...
