The park lamps will remain illuminated to indicate that
the vehicle has remote started and the engine is running.
The lamps will turn off when the ignition is turned to
RUN or the remote start is cancelled.
To enter the vehicle while the engine is running during a
remote start, you must first unlock the vehicle using the
UNLOCK button on the key fob. Then, prior to the end of
the 15 minute cycle, insert the key into the ignition switch
and turn the switch to the ON position, otherwise the
engine will cancel remote start and automatically turn
off.
Remote start will also cancel if any of the following occur:
•If the engine stalls or RPM exceeds 2500
•Any engine warning lamps come on

The vehicle can be started remotely up to a maximum of
two times. The vehicle is also allowed a maximum of one
failed start, where the remote start sequence was initiated
but the engine stopped cranking without starting. After
either of these conditions, or if the Security Alarm is
alarming, or if the PANIC button was pressed, the vehicle
must be reset by inserting a valid key into the ignition
and moving it to the RUN position, then back to LOCK.
