Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote starting 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, rear window defogger, and
heated seats. SeeHeated Seats
on page 2‑4and
Heated and Ventilated Seatson page 2‑6for
additional information. When the remote start system is
active, the climate control system will heat or cool the
inside of the vehicle at the setting the vehicle was set to
when the vehicle was last turned off. The rear window
defogger will be turned on by the climate control system
when it is cold outside. If the vehicle has heated seats,
they may also turn on when it is cold outside. Cooled
seats are not activated during a remote start. Normal
operation of the system will return after the key is
turned to the ON/RUN position.
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, see
Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System
on page 3‑4for additional
information.
/ (Remote Start): This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if you have remote start.
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 flash
or if the vehicle's lights are not visible, press
and hold the remote start button for at least
four seconds.
When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn
on and remain on while the vehicle is running. The
vehicle's doors will be locked.
3. If it is the first 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.
If the vehicle is left running it will automatically shut
off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has
been done.
