To start the engine using the remote start feature:
1. Aim the RKE 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.
When the vehicle’s engine starts, the parking lamps
will turn on and remain on while the engine is
running.
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.
After entering the vehicle during a remote start, insert
and turn the key to ON/RUN to drive the vehicle.
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 ON/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.
After your vehicle’s engine has been started two times
using the remote start button, the vehicle’s ignition
switch must be turned to RUN and then back to
LOCK/OFF using the key before the remote start
procedure can be used again.
