WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Chrysler 300 and 2019 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A power operated door and decklid lock system is standard factory-installed equipment on this vehicle. The power lock system allows all of the doors and the decklid to be locked or unlocked electrically. Locking or unlocking the vehicle using the power lock system can be accomplished by up to three different methods:
- Power Lock System - Operating a power lock system switch on either front door inside trim panel will lock or unlock the latches of all doors. Operating a decklid release switch on the instrument panel will unlatch the decklid.
- Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System - Depressing the Lock or Unlock button of the standard equipment transmitter Finger Operated Button Integrated Key (FOBIK) RKE transmitter can also be used to lock or unlock the latches of the doors. Depressing the Decklid Release button of the FOBIK will unlatch the decklid. The specific locks operated and the number of FOBIK button presses required varies depending upon the "Customer Programmable" settings located in the radio that are chosen by the vehicle operator.
- Passive Entry (PE) System - Contacting the capacitive Unlock switch on the inside of either exterior front door Smart handle pull or depressing the tactile Lock button of either front door Smart handle while a valid FOBIK is identified in that same zone can be used to lock or unlock the doors. Also depressing the tactile Unlock button on the lens of the decklid Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) while a valid FOBIK is identified in that same zone can be used to unlatch the decklid. The specific locks operated varies depending upon the "Customer Programmable" settings located in the radio that are chosen by the vehicle operator.
Additional details of each of these subsystems and their components can be found in the subheadings and paragraphs that follow.
