The automatic climate control may
begin to heat or cool your vehicle
during remote start depending on
the temperature inside and outside
of the vehicle. The windshield

defogger turn on if it is cold outside.

RUN. See Dual Automatic Climate
Control System on page 8‑1.
Laws in some local 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.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, do not
use the remote start feature. The
vehicle may run out of fuel.
The RKE transmitter range may be
less while the vehicle is running.
Other conditions can affect the
performance of the transmitter; see
