2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery, positive side facing down.
Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
4. Snap the transmitter back together.
Remote Vehicle Start
The remote start feature allows you to start the engine
from outside of the vehicle. It may also start up the
vehicle’s heating or air conditioning systems and rear
window defogger. Normal operation of the system
will return after the key is turned to the ON/RUN
position.
During a remote start, the climate control system
will default to a heating mode during colder outside
temperatures and a cooling mode during warmer
outside temperatures.
During a remote start, the rear window defogger
and heated mirrors, if equipped, will turn on during
colder outside temperatures and will shut off when
the key is turned to ON/RUN.
During a remote start, the heated seats will turn on
during colder outside temperatures and will shut
off when the key is turned to ON/RUN. SeeHeated
Seats on page 1-6for additional information.
2-7

Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may require
a person using the 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.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the RKE
transmitter functions will have an increased range
of operation. However, the range may be less while
the vehicle is running.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2-4for additional
information.
/(Remote Start):Press and release the lock button
and then press and hold the remote start button to
start the vehicle.To start the vehicle using the remote start feature:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s lock button,
then immediately press and hold the transmitter’s
remote start button until the turn signal lights ash.
If you cannot see the vehicle’s lights, press and hold
the remote start button for at least four seconds.
The vehicle’s doors will lock. Pressing the remote
start button again after the vehicle has started will
turn off the ignition.
When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn
on and remain on while the vehicle is running.
3. If it is the rst remote start since the vehicle has
been driven, repeat these steps, while the engine
is still running, to extend the engine running time
by 10 minutes. Remote start can be extended
one time.
After entering the vehicle during a remote start, insert
and turn the key to ON/RUN to drive the vehicle.
2-8

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:
Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle and press
the remote start button until the parking lamps
turn off.
Turn on the hazard warning ashers.
Turn the ignition switch on and then off.
The vehicle can be remote started two separate times
between driving sequences. The engine will run for
10 minutes after each remote start.
Or, you can extend the engine run time by another
10 minutes within the rst 10 minute remote start time
frame, and before the engine stops.
For example, if the lock button and then the remote
start buttons are pressed again after the vehicle
has been running for ve minutes, 10 minutes are
added, allowing the engine to run for 15 minutes.The additional ten minutes are considered a second
remote vehicle start.
Once two remote starts, or a single remote start with
one time extension has been done, the vehicle must
be started with the key. After the key is removed from
the ignition, the vehicle can be remote started again.
The vehicle cannot be remote started if the key is in
the ignition, the hood is not closed, or 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 if the
oil pressure gets low.
Vehicles that have the remote vehicle start feature are
shipped from the factory with the remote vehicle start
system enabled. The system may be enabled or disabled
through the DIC. See “REMOTE START” underDIC
Vehicle Customization on page 3-64for additional
information. If your vehicle does not have DIC buttons,
see your dealer/retailer to enable or disable the remote
vehicle start system.
