WARNING
To avoid risk of injury or death, do not
use the remote engine start function
when the vehicle is in an enclosed area
such as a garage.
JVP0446X
The remote engine startbutton is on the
Intelligent Key if the vehicle has remote engine
start function. This function allows the engine to
start from outside the vehicle.
Some systems, such as the air conditioner
system, will turn on during a remote start, if the
system was on the last time the ignition switch
was turned off.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local regulations for any
requirements.
Other conditions may affect the remote engine
start function. See “Conditions the remoteengine start will not work” (P.3-23) .
Other conditions can affect the performance of
the Intelligent Key transmitter. See “Intelligent
Key system” (P.3-11) for additional information.
REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING
RANGE
The remote engine start function can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
other strong radio wave sources are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent Key
operating range becomes narrower, and the
Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE ENGINE
To use the remote start function to start the
engine, perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Push the LOCK
button to lock all doors.
3. Within 5 seconds push and hold the remote
engine start
button until the turn signal
lights flash and the tail lights illuminate. If the
vehicle is not within view, push and hold the
remote engine start
button for at least 2
seconds.
REMOTE ENGINE START (if so
equipped)

The following events will occur when the engine
starts:
.The front parking lights will turn on and
remain on as long as the engine is running.
.The doors will be locked and the air
conditioner system may turn on.
.The engine will continue to run for about 10
minutes. Repeat the steps to extend the time
for an additional 10 minutes. See “Extending

Run time will be calculated as follows:
.The first 10 minute run time will start when
the remote engine start function is per-
formed.
.The second 10 minutes will start immedi-
ately when the remote engine start function
is performed. 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 count to-
wards 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 engine start procedure can be
used again.
