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 time by 10 minutes for
the engine to continue to run.
Remote start can be extended
one time.
After entering the vehicle during a
remote start, insert and turn the key
to the ON/RUN position to drive
the vehicle.
If the vehicle is left running it
automatically shuts off after
10 minutes unless a time extension
has been done.
To manually shut off a remote start:
• Aim the RKE transmitter at the
vehicle and press
/ until the
parking lamps turn off.
• Turn on the hazard warning
flashers.
• Turn the ignition switch on and
then off.
The vehicle can be started using the
remote start feature two separate
times between driving sequences.
The engine runs for 10 minutes after
each remote start. Or, the engine
run time can be extended another
10 minutes within the first 10 minute
remote start time frame, and before
the engine stops.
For example, if
Q and then / are
pressed again after the vehicle
has been running for five minutes,
10 minutes are added, allowing
the engine to run for 15 minutes.
The additional 10 minutes are
considered a second remote start.
The vehicle must be started with the
key once two remote starts, or a
single remote start with one time
extension has been done.
The vehicle can be started using the
remote start feature again after
the key is removed from the ignition.
The vehicle cannot be started using
the remote start feature if the key
is in the ignition, the hood is open,
or if there is an emission control
system malfunction.
The engine turns off during a
remote start if the coolant
temperature gets too high or if the
oil pressure gets low.
Vehicles that have 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 if the vehicle has DIC
buttons. See “REMOTE START”
under DIC Vehicle Customization
(With DIC Buttons) on page 3-65 for
additional information. If the vehicle
does not have DIC buttons, see your
dealer/retailer to enable or disable
the remote start system.
