Remote Vehicle Start
The remote vehicle starting feature allows you to
start the engine from outside of the vehicle. It also
starts up the vehicle's automatic climate control system.
When the remote start system is active, the climate
control system will heat and cool the inside of the
vehicle according to the previous settings of the system
before turning the vehicle off. The rear window defogger
will be turned on by the climate control system when
it is cold outside. If the vehicle has heated seats, they
will also turn on when it is cold outside. See Heated
and Ventilated Seats
on page 2‑5
for additional
information. Cooled seats are not activated during a
remote start. Normal operation of the climate control
system will return after the key is turned to ON/RUN.
See Dual Climate Control System on page 4‑36.
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 your vehicle is low
on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the RKE
transmitter functions will have an increased range of
operation. However, the range may be less while the
vehicle is running.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, see Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation
on page 3‑4
for
additional information.
/ (Remote Start): This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if you have remote start.
To start the vehicle using the remote start feature:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter's lock button,
then immediately press and hold the transmitter's
remote start button until the turn signal lights
flash or if the vehicle's lights are not visible,
press and hold the remote start button for at least
four seconds. Pressing the remote start button
again after the vehicle has started will turn off the
ignition.
When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will
turn on and remain on while the vehicle is running.
The vehicle's doors will be locked.
3. If it is the first remote start since the vehicle has
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.
