Laws in some communities may
restrict the use of remote starters.
For example, some laws may
require a person using the remote
start to have the vehicle in view
when doing so. Check local
regulations for any requirements
on remote starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start
feature if the vehicle is low on fuel.
The vehicle may run out of fuel.
If the vehicle has the remote
start feature, the RKE transmitter
functions will have an increased
range of operation. However, the
range may be less while the vehicle
is running.
There are other conditions which
can affect the performance of the
transmitter. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System
on page 23
for additional information.
/ (Remote Start): This button will
be on the RKE transmitter if the
vehicle has remote start.
To start the vehicle using the remote
start feature:
1. Aim the transmitter at the
vehicle.
2. Press and release the
transmitter's lock button.
The vehicle's doors will lock.
Immediately press and hold
the transmitter's remote start
button until the turn signal lamps
flash. If you cannot see the
vehicle's lamps, press and hold
the remote start button for two
to four seconds. Pressing the
remote start button again after
the vehicle has started will turn
the engine off.
When the vehicle starts, the
parking lamps will turn on and
remain on while the vehicle is
running.
If the vehicle is left running,
it will automatically shut off
after 10 minutes unless a time
extension has been done.
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.
