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 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.
