If it is the first remote start since the vehicle has
been driven, repeat the previous steps, while the engine
is still running, to extend the engine running time by
10 minutes from the time you repeat the steps for
remote starting. The remote start running time can be
extended one time and only after the first remote start.
After entering the vehicle during a remote start,
insert and turn the key to ON/RUN to drive the vehicle.
The engine will shut off automatically 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.
To manually shut off a remote start, do any of the
following.
• Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle and press
and release the remote start button.

• Turn the ignition switch out of LOCK/OFF position
and then back to LOCK/OFF.
After the engine has been started two times, or one time
with a time extension, the vehicle’s ignition must be
turned to ON/RUN using the key before the remote start
procedure can be used again. See Ignition Positions
on page 2-20 for information regarding the ignition
positions on your vehicle.
