EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The remote start feature can be extended one
time by performing the steps listed in “Remote

be calculated as follows:
● The first 10 minute run time will start when
the remote start function is performed. ●
The second 10 minutes will start immedi-
ately when the remote start function is per-
formed again. For example, if the engine has
been running for 5 minutes, and 10 minutes
are added, the engine will run for a total of
15 minutes.
● Extending engine run time will bring you to
the two remote start limit.
A maximum of two remote starts, or a single start
with an extension, are allowed between ignition
cycles. The ignition switch must be cycled to the
ON position and then back to the OFF position
before the remote start procedure can be used
