2. Remove the battery and replace it with the

the battery faces up. Use one three-volt,
CR2032, or equivalent, type battery.

moisture will not get inside the transmitter.

vehicle.
Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote start feature. This
feature allows you to start the engine from outside
the vehicle. It may also start the vehicle’s heating or
air conditioning systems. When you start your
vehicle using the remote start feature, the climate
control system will come on and adjust the interior
to the temperature settings that you left it set to
when you turned the vehicle off.
Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may
require a person using 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 your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The remote start feature provides two separate
starts per ignition cycle, each with 10 minutes of
engine running time.
After your vehicle’s engine has been started
two times using the remote vehicle start button,
the vehicle’s ignition switch must be turned to RUN
and then back to LOCK using the key before
the remote start procedure can be used again. See
Ignition Positions on page 108 for information
regarding the ignition positions on your vehicle.
You can start your vehicle’s engine from about
197 feet (60 m) away. However, the range may be
less while the vehicle is running, and as a result you
may need to be closer to your vehicle to turn it off
than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, see Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 88 for
additional information.
