& Starting your vehicle
NOTE
All vehicle doors, the engine hood and
trunk / rear gate must be closed prior to
activating the remote engine start sys-
tem. Any open entry point will prevent
starting or cause the system to shut
down.
The remote engine start function is acti-
vated by pressing the “
” button twice
within 3 seconds on your remote engine
start transmitter. Upon successful activa-
tion the remote start confirming transmitter
button will flash once* and the vehicle will
honk the horn and flash the side marker
lights, tail lights and front position lights
once. The system will check certain
preconditions before starting, and if all
safety parameters are correct, the engine
will start within 5 seconds. Upon success-
ful engine start, the remote start confirma-
tion transmitter button will flash twice
every 5 seconds* and the vehicle will
honk the horn and flash the side marker
lights, tail lights and the front position
lights once, then the lights will illuminate
and remain illuminated, indicating that the
engine is running. While the vehicle is
operating via the remote engine start
function, the power window features will
be disabled. Also, the system has a timer
and will shut down after 15 minutes if you
do not operate the vehicle. Press and hold
the “
” button for 2 seconds to turn the
engine off. The remote start confirmation
transmitter button will flash three times*
indicating that the engine has shut down.
If the starter cranks but does not start or
starts and stalls, the remote engine start
system will power off and then attempt to
start the engine an additional three times
unless the remote engine start system
determines that a vehicle malfunction is
preventing the system from starting. If the
engine does not start after additional
attempts, the remote engine start system
will abort and return to a non-activate
state.
*: Provided that the remote engine start
transmitter is within the operating range of
the system.
