minutes. For example, if the lock button and then the
remote start buttons are pressed again after
five minutes of the engine run time, 10 minutes are
added and you now have 15 minutes of engine running.
The added ten minutes are considered a second remote
vehicle start.

Once two remote starts or a single start with a time
extension have been used, the vehicle must be started
with the ignition key before you can use the remote start
feature again.

The remote vehicle start feature will not operate if the
key is in the ignition, the hood is not closed, or if there
is an emission control system malfunction.

The engine will turn off during a remote vehicle start if
the coolant temperature gets too high, or the oil
pressure is too low.

See Engine Exhaust on page 3‑32 for important safety
information when using remote start in a closed garage.

Remote Start Ready

If your vehicle does not have the remote vehicle start
feature, it may have the remote start ready feature. This
feature allows your dealer to add the manufacturer's
remote vehicle start feature. See your dealer if you
would like to add the manufacturer's remote vehicle
start feature to your vehicle.

Door Locks

WARNING:

Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

.

Passengers, especially children, can easily
open the doors and fall out of a moving
vehicle. When a door is locked, the handle will
not open it. The chance of being thrown out of
the vehicle in a crash is increased if the doors
are not locked. So, all passengers should
wear safety belts properly and the doors
should be locked whenever the vehicle is
driven.

.

Young children who get into unlocked vehicles
may be unable to get out. A child can be
overcome by extreme heat and can suffer
permanent injuries or even death from heat
stroke. Always lock the vehicle whenever
leaving it.
