Remote Vehicle Start
This feature allows you to start the engine from outside
the vehicle. It may also turn the rear window defogger
if the outside temperature is below 45°F (7°C).
Laws in some local 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.
/ (Remote Vehicle Start): If your vehicle has the
remote vehicle start feature, the remote keyless entry
transmitter will have a button with this symbol on it.
An increased range of operation is provided with the
remote keyless entry transmitter that has the remote
vehicle start button.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is low
on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
To start the engine using the remote start feature, do the
following:
1. Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter, if
equipped with the remote vehicle start button,
at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s lock button,
then immediately press and hold the remote
vehicle start button until the vehicle’s turn signal
lamps flash, or for at least two seconds, if the
vehicle’s lights are not visible. The vehicle’s doors
will be locked.
3. When the vehicle’s engine starts, the parking lamps
will turn on and remain on while the engine is
running.
After a remote start, the engine will automatically shut
off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has
been done or the vehicle’s key is inserted into the
ignition switch and turned to RUN.
The maximum number of remote starts or remote start
attempts between ignition cycles with the key is two.
If it is the vehicle’s first remote start, and the engine is
still running, repeat Steps 1 and 2 for a 10 minute time
extension. Ten minutes will be added to the remaining
minutes of the first remote start. The 10 minute time
extension is considered a second remote start.
