Remote Start System On the vehicles that are equipped
with this system, the key fob RKE
transmitter enables to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The
system has a range of approximately
300 ft (91 m). Obstructions between
the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate
from a normal distance, check for
these conditions:
• A weak battery in the RKE
transmitter. The expected life of the
battery is a minimum of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radio.
• Obstructions between the vehicle
and the Key Fob. How to use Remote Start All of the following conditions must
be met before the engine will remote
start:
• System not disabled from previous
remote start event.

If EPB (Electric Parking Brake) is not
selected, at key-off in some conditions
the remote start system may not allow
engine to start. We suggest to set
“Auto Apply On” function through
the switch on the right-side of the
steering wheel (refer to “Instrument
