How to Use Power-Presenting Door Handles with Keyless Open

When you approach the vehicle with the key fob within a three-foot range of the door, the door handles will extend outward. If this happens, you can:

1. Grab the extended end of the door handle.
   
2. Pull the door open.

To open the door if the pivoting handles have not extended outward (and the vehicle is already unlocked or you have the key fob or a mobile phone enabled with Digital Key in range):

 1. Push inward on the end of the handle that normally extends outward.

- This action triggers all the door handles to extend outward at the same time.

 2. Grab the extended end of the door handle.

 3. Pull the door open.

Door handles that are extended outward do not necessarily mean the vehicle is unlocked. Upon your approach, the handles may jut out, but you will still have to unlock the vehicle either by using your key fob or by touching the rear half of the handle surface of the driver or front-passenger door handle.

The door handles will pivot outward if:

• You unlock your vehicle
  
• You open or close any door
  
• With Vehicle Locator Lights enabled, you approach within approximately 10 feet (3-4 meters) of your vehicle, with your key fob or a mobile phone enabled with Digital Key in range
  
• You stop and put the vehicle in PARK. (This happens only if Automatic Door Unlock is enabled in Settings)

The door handles will retract to their original position (flush with the door) if:  

• You lock your door with either the key fob button, your mobile phone, the interior door lock switch or through passive locking
  
• There has been no door activity for approximately 5 minutes
  
• You shift out of PARK and begin driving

Some vehicles have a small sensor you can touch to lock or unlock the vehicle. If equipped, this sensor is only on the driver and front-passenger door handles.

Passive Locking/Unlocking the vehicle using the driver or front-passenger door handles (if equipped and enabled):

1. Touch the small square at the front end of the driver or front-passenger door handle to lock.
   
2. Grip the handle of the driver or front-passenger door handle to unlock. A sensor will detect your hand wrapped around the handle. It will then unlock the door if the key fob or a mobile phone enabled with Digital Key is in range.
