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.
