Saturn 2009 VUE Automobile User Manual


 
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.
/ (Remote Start): This button is
located on the RKE transmitter if the
vehicle has remote start.
To start the vehicle:
1. Aim the transmitter at the
vehicle.
2. Press and release
Q, then
immediately press and hold
/
until the turn signal lamps flash.
If the vehicle’s lamps cannot be
seen, press and hold
/ for at
least two seconds. The vehicle’s
doors lock. Pressing
/ again,
after the vehicle has started,
shuts the vehicle off.
When the vehicle starts, the
parking lamps turn on and
remain on while the vehicle
is running.
3. After entering the vehicle during
a remote start, and the engine
is still running, turn the key to
the ON/RUN position to drive
the vehicle.
If the vehicle is left running it
automatically shuts off after
10 minutes unless a time extension
has been done.
If it is the vehicle’s first remote start
since it was last driven, repeat these
steps while the engine is still running
to give a 10 minute time extension.
Remote start can be extended
one time.
To manually shut off a remote start:
Aim the RKE transmitter at the
vehicle and press
/ until the
parking lamps turn off.
Turn on the hazard warning
flashers.
Turn the ignition switch on and
then off.
The vehicle can be remote started
two separate times between driving
sequences. The engine runs for
10 minutes after each remote start.
Or, the engine run time can be
extended another 10 minutes within
the first 10 minute remote start time
frame, and before the engine stops.
For example, if
Q and then / are
pressed again after the vehicle
has been running for five minutes,
10 minutes are added, allowing
the engine to run for 15 minutes.
The additional 10 minutes are
considered a second remote
vehicle start.
