Black plate (6,1) Chevrolet Traverse Owner Manual - 2012
2-6 Keys, Doors, and Windows
When the vehicle starts, the parking
lamps will turn on and remain on
as long as the engine is running.
The doors will be locked and the
climate control system will operate
automatically if the vehicle has the
automatic system, or at the same
setting as 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 and
Ventilated Front Seats on page 3‑8
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.
After entering the vehicle during a
remote start, insert and 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.
Extending Engine Run Time
To extend the engine run time
by 10 minutes, repeat Steps 1
through 3 while the engine is still
running. The engine run time can
only be extended if it is the first
remote start since the vehicle has
been driven. Remote start can be
extended one time.
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.
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 a total of
15 minutes.
A maximum of two remote starts or
remote start attempts are allowed
between ignition cycles.
After the vehicle's engine has been
started two times using the remote
start button, the ignition must be
turned on and then back off before
the remote start procedure can be
used again.
