Remote-starting Your Vehicle

button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come

you that the unit has received your signal. Approx. 5 seconds later, the engine will start. The
parking lights will remain

If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds, and
try to start the engine again. It will try to start the engine 3 times before giving up.
Vehicle Presets
Heater and Heated Seat
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation
for the next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as
heated seats (if equipped) should not be left on

or

become energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must
