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.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, do not use the remote start
feature. The vehicle may run out of fuel. The vehicle may
also run out of fuel if the vehicle is running for a long
period of time when parked on an incline facing
downward with a low fuel condition.
To start the engine using the remote start feature, do the
following:
1. Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter, 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 the remote start procedure is used again before
the first 10 minute time frame has ended, the first
10 minutes will immediately expire and the second
10 minute time frame will start.
