SMART KEY OPERATION

SMART KEY

WARNING

The smart key system uses Radio Frequency (RF) transmissions that could interfere with implanted medical devices. To avoid any possibility of interference between the system and the device, make sure that the device is kept at a safe distance. The distance should be at least 9 in (22 cm) away from any transmitter. In rare circumstances, interference may cause an implanted medical device to malfunction. Malfunction to an implanted medical device may potentially cause serious injury or death.

See SMART KEY SYSTEM TRANSMITTERS.

WARNING
To prevent accidental or unauthorized operation, never leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle. The vehicle can be operated when the smart key is inside the vehicle. Unauthorized operation may lead to serious injury or death.
NOTES
The operational range of the smart key varies considerably, depending on atmospheric conditions and interference from other transmitting devices.
NOTES
If any door, or the tailgate, is unlocked ten times within a short period, the locking latch disables for approximately 1 minute.
NOTES
A replacement smart key can be obtained only from a retailer/authorized repairer. The retailer/authorized repairer requires proof of identification and ownership. Notify a retailer/authorized repairer immediately if a smart key is lost or stolen.

The vehicle is supplied with two smart keys. The smart keys act as remote controls for the locking and alarm systems. The smart keys allow the vehicle to be locked, unlocked, and driven without the use of a conventional key. Each smart key also contains a slide-off emergency key. See KEYLESS ENTRY, KEYLESS LOCKING and STARTING THE ENGINE.

CAUTION
Make sure that there is sufficient space above and at the rear of the vehicle before operating the tailgate. Insufficient opening space may result in damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not operate the tailgate if a cycle rack is fitted to the tailgate. Remove any cycles and/or racks before operating the tailgate.
NOTES
The gesture action is a smooth kick and return motion, not a swipe motion.
NOTES
The operation of the gesture tailgate may vary depending on the vehicle’s suspension height.
NOTES
If the ignition is switched on, the tailgate operates but the turn signals do not flash.
NOTES
A valid smart key must be within 39 in (1 m) of the tailgate. The smart key may not be detected in a metal container, or if it is shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen. For example, a smartphone, laptop, including when inside a laptop bag, or a games console. Keep the smart key clear of such devices when attempting hands-free operation of the powered tailgate.
NOTES
Certain conditions may affect the performance of the sensors, and movement beneath the bumper may not be detected. If this should happen, use the interior tailgate release switch or the smart key’s tailgate release button. Check the operation of the gesture tailgate when the vehicle is in a new location.

Sensors (if fitted) are positioned within the outer parts of the rear bumper. The sensors recognize a valid kick movement of a foot below the bumper level and allow automatic opening or closing of a powered tailgate.

To operate the gesture tailgate (if fitted), approach the vehicle, and perform a smooth kick and return motion. The kick should last between 1 and 2 seconds and take place within one of the vehicle’s two sensor areas, as illustrated. When the vehicle recognizes a valid kick movement, the turn signals flash and the tailgate operates.

Unintentional operation: In exceptional circumstances, and if the smart key is within 47 in (1.2 m) of the tailgate, the powered tailgate may operate unintentionally due to the following:

  • Car washing or high pressure cleaning.
  • Moving objects beneath the rear bumper sensors.
  • While changing a rear road wheel.
  • While fitting snow chains to the rear wheels.

The gesture tailgate feature can be disabled or enabled via the touchscreen as follows:

  1. Touch the settings icon.¹
  2. Select ALL.
  3. Select Power Tailgate.

After drive-away locking has taken place, press the unlock or lock button to override the feature for the current journey. The unlock and lock buttons are located on the inside of the front doors. See DOOR LOCKS AND HANDLES.

DEPLOYABLE SIDE STEPS

The deployable side steps are full-length steps that are stowed below the side sills and under the vehicle.

CAUTION
When the deployable side step is activated it automatically deploys if any of the doors are opened on the appropriate side. If doors on both sides are opened, both side steps deploy.

The deployable side steps can be set via the touchscreen’s Vehicle menu. See SYSTEM SETTINGS.

The vehicle remembers the set status and a change to the status can be made at any time. When set to On, the side steps are activated in auto mode.

NOTES
The deployable side steps do not deploy when the vehicle is traveling at more than 3 mph (5 km/h). If the side steps are already deployed, they stow automatically when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
NOTES
The deployable side steps return to their previous position if an obstruction is encountered during operation. If this occurs, the touchscreen displays a warning.
NOTES
Make sure the side steps are fully deployed and have completed their operation before stepping on the running boards. Failing to do so can cause the side steps to reverse direction.

After a side step has been deployed, automatic operation is activated after both doors on that side of the vehicle are closed. When the vehicle is unlocked from the outside, the side steps deploy if the deployable side steps menu status is set to On. Operation of the side steps on one or both sides of the vehicle is dependent on the following unlocking status:

  • When the smart key is set to single-point entry, on the first press of the smart key, the side step deploys on only the driver’s side. A second press also deploys the passenger side step.
  • When the smart key is set to multi-point entry, both side steps deploy.
  • Keyless entry deploys both side steps.

When the smart key or keyless entry is used to open the vehicle, and subsequently no door is opened, the side steps automatically stow after 1 minute.

ROOF ACCESS
The side steps can be deployed indefinitely to access the roof, cleaning or accessing the jacking points. On the Side steps menu, select Roof access. The electric parking brake must be on and the vehicle unlocked to activate Roof access. The side steps deploy and remain in their deployed position until Roof access is deselected. The deployed position deactivates automatically, and returns to the automatic setting, if the vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h), or if the vehicle’s doors are locked.
NOTES
Use Roof access mode to enable cleaning of the steps and the underside of the vehicle in a pull-through car wash, follow the steps above to activate Roof access mode. Once in Roof Access mode, release the electic parking brake. The vehicle can now move up to 3 mph (5 km/h) without the side steps stowing.

For more information about vehicle cleaning, see THE EXTERIOR.

OFF-ROAD OPERATION
To prevent potential damage to side steps, the side steps do not deploy when the vehicle is in following terrain response programs. See TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION:
  • Sand
  • Rock Crawl
  • Mud ruts
  • Wade (only while in low range wade mode).

Enabling Off-road operation mode allows the deployable side steps to continue operating in the above listed terrain response programs.

CAUTION
Use of Off-road operation mode can result in damage to the vehicle in unsuitable terrain. Make sure there are no obstructions in path of side steps before operating Off-road operation mode.

SMART KEY DEACTIVATION

Key deactivation is intended to secure keys that have been stored in the vehicle. A deactivated key will not start the vehicle. Keys become deactivated when left inside the vehicle when the alarm is armed. For example, if the vehicle is locked by another key, or if keyless locking arms the alarm. Keys become deactivated if left inside the vehicle when closing the tailgate, trunk lid or taildoor while the alarm is armed.

To reactivate a key:

  • Start the vehicle using another activated smart key or activity key, or
  • Unlock the vehicle using the InControl Remote application.
