FIAT Freemont - Manual (Page 102)

If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel
switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors
have been closed the vehicle checks the inside and
outside of the vehicle for any valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitters. If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry RKE
transmitters is detected inside the vehicle, and no
other valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters are de-
tected outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and chirps the
horn three times (on the third attempt ALL doors will
lock and the Passive Entry RKE transmitter can be
locked in the vehicle).
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors
The front door handles have LOCK buttons located on
the outside of the handles. (fig. 88)
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE transmit-
ters within 1.5 m of the driver or passenger front door
handle, press the door handle LOCK button to lock all
four doors and the liftgate.
NOTE:
• After pressing the door handle LOCK button, you
must wait two seconds before you can lock or unlock
the doors, using either Passive Entry door handle. This
is done to allow you to check if the vehicle is locked by
pulling the door handle, without the vehicle reacting
and unlocking.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the RKE
transmitter battery is dead.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the RKE
transmitter lock button or the lock button located on
the vehicle’s i nterior door panel.
