three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent. 1. Remove the mechanical key blade from
the transmitter.

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 will flash twice.
The horn will sound 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 General
Information (page 89). Note:
If the vehicle has been remote started
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 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
General Information
(page 89).
Memory Feature
You can recall the positions of the memory
seat, outside mirrors, steering column and
power pedal positions (if equipped) with your
intelligent access key if it is linked to a pre-set
position.
See Memory Function (page 114).
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement keys or remote controls can be
purchased from an authorized dealer.
Authorized dealers can program remote
controls for your vehicle. See
