3. When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn
on and remain on while the vehicle is running.
4. If it is your first remote start since last driving,
repeat these steps while the engine is still
running for a 10 minute time extension.
When you enter the vehicle during a remote start, and
the engine is still running, turn the key to the RUN
position to drive the vehicle.
If the vehicle is left running it will automatically shut
off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has
been done.
To manually shut off a remote start, do any of the
following:
• Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter at the
vehicle and press the remote start button until
the parking lamps turn off.
• Turn on the hazards warning flashers.
• Turn the ignition switch on and then off.
The remote vehicle start feature provides two separate
starts, each with 10 minutes of engine running, or it
provides one start with 10 minutes of engine running that
may be extended with 10 more minutes. If you press
and release the transmitter lock button and then
press and hold the remote start button, on the remote
keyless entry transmitter, again before the first
10 minutes of engine running time has expired,
10 minutes are added to the remaining minutes. For
example, if the lock button and then the remote
start buttons are pressed again after five minutes of the
engine run time, 10 minutes are added and you now
have 15 minutes of engine running. The added
ten minutes are considered a second remote vehicle
start. Once two remote starts or a single start with a time
extension have been provided, the vehicle must be
started normally with the ignition key to get more remote
vehicle starts.
The remote vehicle start feature will not operate if the
key is in the ignition, the hood is not closed or if there is
an emission control system malfunction.
Also, the engine will turn off during a remote vehicle
start if the coolant temperature gets too high or if the oil
pressure gets low.
Vehicles equipped with the remote vehicle start feature
are shipped from the factory with the remote vehicle
start system enabled. The system may be enabled
or disabled through the DIC. See “REMOTE START”
under DIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-53 for
additional information.
