Remote Vehicle Start
This vehicle may have a remote starting feature that
allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle.
It may also start the vehicle’s automatic climate
control system. When the remote start system is active,
the climate control system heats and cools the inside of
the vehicle according to the previous settings of the
system before turning the vehicle off. The windshield
defroster and/or rear window defogger turn on if it is cold
outside. If the vehicle has heated seats, they also turn
on if the interior or exterior temperature is cold enough.
See Heated and Ventilated Seats on page 1-7 for
additional information. Normal operation of the climate
control system returns after the ignition is turned to
ON/RUN. See Dual Climate Control System on
page 3-24.

been driven, repeat these steps, while the engine is
still running, to extend the engine running time by
10 minutes. Remote start can be extended one time.

10 minutes unless a time extension has been done.

Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may require
a person using remote start to have the vehicle in
view when doing so. Check local regulations for any
requirements on remote starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if the vehicle is low
on fuel. The vehicle may run out of fuel.
