Remote Vehicle Start
This vehicle may have a remote
starting feature that starts the engine
from outside of the vehicle.
If the vehicle has an automatic
climate control system, the climate
control system defaults to a
heating or cooling mode depending
on the outside temperatures.
If the vehicle does not have an
automatic climate control system,
the system turns on at the
setting the vehicle was set to when
the vehicle was last turned off.
If the vehicle has an automatic
climate control system and heated
seats, the heated seats turn on
during colder outside temperatures
and shut off when the key is
turned to ON/RUN. See Heated
Seats on page 1-5 or Heated and
Cooled Seats on page 1-6 for
more information.
The rear window defogger and
heated mirrors, if the vehicle has
them, turn on during colder outside
temperatures and turn off when
the key is turned to ON/RUN.
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
could run out of fuel.
If the vehicle has the remote start
feature, the RKE transmitter
functions 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 2-3 for
additional information.
