Pontiac 2005 Grand Prix - Manual (Page 73)

If the vehicle is left running it will automatically shut off
after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been
done. To manually shut off a remote start, do any of
the following:
• Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter at the
vehicle and press the remote start button until
the parking lamps turn off.
• Turn on the hazards warning flashers.
• Turn the ignition switch on and then off.
The remote start feature provides two separate starts,
each with 10 minutes of engine running, or it provides
one start with 10 minutes of engine running which may
be extended by 10 more minutes. If you press and
release the transmitter lock button and then press and
hold the remote start button, on the keyless entry
transmitter, again before the first 10 minutes of the
engine running time has expired, 10 minutes are added
to the remaining minutes. For example, if the lock
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 the
engine running. The added 10 minutes is considered
a second start. Once two remote starts or a single start
with a time extension have been provided, the vehicle
must be started normally with the ignition key to
get more remote starts.
The remote start feature will not operate if the key is in
the ignition, a door is open or the hood is not closed.
The remote start feature will not operate if there is
an emission control system malfunction. Also, the engine
will turn off during a remote vehicle start if the coolant
temperature gets too high or the oil pressure gets low.
If a remote start is attempted and unsuccessful, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) will display REMOTE
START DISABLED.
