Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote start feature.
This feature allows you to start the engine
from outside the vehicle. It may also start the
vehicle’s heating or air conditioning systems. See
Climate Control System on page 170 for
additional information.
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.
/(Remote Vehicle Start): If your vehicle has
the remote vehicle start feature, the remote
keyless entry transmitter will have a button with
this symbol on it.
An increased range of operation is provided with
the remote keyless entry transmitter that has
the remote vehicle start button. The vehicle can
be started from approximately 197 feet (60 m)
away. However, the operating range may be less
while the engine is running and you will need
to be closer to your vehicle to turn it off than you
were to turn it on.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
To start the engine using the remote start feature,
do the following:
1. Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter at
the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s lock button,
then immediately press and hold the remote
vehicle start button for four seconds or until the
vehicle’s turn signal lamps flash. The vehicle’s
doors will be locked.
3. When the vehicle’s engine starts, the parking
lamps will turn on and remain on while the
engine is running.
After a remote start, the engine will automatically
shut off after 10 minutes unless a time extension
has been done or the vehicle’s key is inserted into
the ignition switch and turned to RUN.
The maximum number of remote starts between
ignition cycles with the key is two.
If the remote start procedure is used again before
the first 10 minute time frame has ended, the
first 10 minutes will immediately expire and
the second 10 minute time frame will start.
