3. Snap the front and back together tightly so

Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote start feature.
This feature allows you to start the engine
from outside the vehicle. It may also start the
vehicle’s heating or air conditioning systems.
When you start your vehicle using the remote start
feature, the climate control system will come on
and adjust the interior to the temperature settings
that you left it set to when you turned the
vehicle off.
Laws in some 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.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.The remote start feature provides two separate
starts per ignition cycle, each with 10 minutes
of engine running time.
After your vehicle’s engine has been started
two times using the remote vehicle start button,
the vehicle’s ignition switch must be turned to RUN
and then back to LOCK using the key before
the remote start procedure can be used again.
SeeIgnition Positions on page 112for information
regarding the ignition positions on your vehicle.
You can start your vehicle’s engine from about
197 feet (60 m) away. However, the range may be
less while the vehicle is running, and as a result
you may need to be closer to your vehicle to turn it
off than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 91for
additional information.
/(Remote Start):If your vehicle has the remote
start feature, the RKE transmitter will have a
button with this symbol on it.
