3. Remove the batteries.
4. Install new batteries with the + facing
each other.
Note: Make sure to replace the label
between the two batteries.
5. Reinstall the housing and cover.
Car Finder Press the button twice within
three seconds. The horn sounds
and the direction indicators
flash. We recommend you use this method
to locate your vehicle, rather than using
the panic alarm.
Sounding a Panic Alarm
Note: The panic alarm will only operate
when the ignition is off. Press the button to activate the
alarm. Press the button again or
switch the ignition on to
deactivate.
Remote Start
(If Equipped) WARNING
To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use
remote start if your vehicle is parked
indoors or areas that are not well
ventilated. Note:
Do not use remote start if your vehicle
is low on fuel. The remote start button is on the
transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle. The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.
If your vehicle has automatic climate
control, you can configure it to operate
when you remote start your vehicle. See
Climate Control
(page 120). See
Information Displays (page 96). A
manual climate control system will run at
the setting it was set to when you switched
the vehicle off.
Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
remote start systems.
The remote start system will not work if:
• The ignition is on.
• The alarm system triggered.
• You disable the feature.
• The hood is open.
• The transmission is not in park (
P).
• The vehicle battery voltage is too low.
• The service engine soon light is on.
Remote Control Feedback (If
Equipped)
An LED on the remote control provides
status feedback of remote start or stop
commands.

Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note: You must press each button within
three seconds of each other. Your vehicle
will not remote start if you do not follow this
sequence. The tag with your transmitter details the
starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps flash twice.
The horn sounds if the system fails to start,
unless quiet start is on. Quiet start will run
the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce
noise. It can be switched on or off in the
information display. See (page 96). Note:
If you remote start the vehicle with
an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must
switch the ignition on before driving your
vehicle. With an intelligent access
transmitter, you must press the
START/STOP
button on the instrument
panel once while applying the brake pedal
before driving your vehicle.
The power windows will not work during
the remote start and the radio will not turn
on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the
vehicle will run for 5, 10 or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still
running to extend the run time for another
remote start duration. If you programmed
the duration to last 10 minutes, the second
10 minutes will begin after what is left of
the first activation time. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the vehicle
will continue to run now for a total of 15
minutes. You can extend the remote start
up to a maximum of 35 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after a vehicle shutdown.
Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting Press the button once. The
vehicle and parking lamps will
turn off.
You may have to be closer to the vehicle
than when starting due to ground reflection
and the added noise of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start
system through the information display.
See
(page 96).

INTERIOR LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT RELEASE WARNINGS
Keep vehicle doors and luggage
compartment locked and keep keys
and remote transmitters out of a
child ’s reach. Unsupervised children could
lock themselves in the trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles. Do not leave children or animals
unattended in the vehicle. On hot
days, the temperature in the trunk or
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to these
high temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk. Your vehicle is equipped with a release
handle that provides a means of escape
for children and adults if they become
locked inside the luggage compartment.
Adults should familiarize themselves with
the operation and location of the release
handle.
