CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intel-
ligent Key may not function properly.
The Remote Hybrid Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within
the specified operating range from the ve-
hicle.
The Remote Hybrid Start operating range
is approximately 197 f t (60 m) from the ve-
hicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE
To use the Remote Hybrid Start feature to
start the hybrid system perform the follow-
ing: 1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Press the

onds.
The following events will occur when the
hybrid system starts:
∙ The parking lights will turn on and re- main on as long as the hybrid system is
running.
∙ The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.
∙ The hybrid system will continue to run for 10 minutes. Repeat the steps to ex-
tend the time for an additional 10 min-
utes. For additional information, refer to
“Extending hybrid system run time” in
this section.
Depress and hold the brake then push the
push-button ignition switch to the ON po-
sition before driving. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Driving the vehicle” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this

EXTENDING HYBRID SYSTEM RUN
TIME
The Remote Hybrid Start feature can be
extended one time by performing the
steps listed in “Remote starting the vehicle”
in this section. Run time will be calculated
as follows: ∙ The first 10 minute run time will start when the Remote Hybrid Start function
is performed.
∙ The second 10 minutes will start imme- diately when the Remote Hybrid Start
function is performed again. For ex-
ample, if the hybrid system has been
running for 5 minutes, and 10 minutes
are added, the hybrid system will run for
a total of 15 minutes.
∙ Extending hybrid system run time will bring you to the two Remote Hybrid
Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Hybrid Starts,
or a single start with an extension, are al-
lowed between ignition cycles. The ignition
switch must be cycled to the ON position
and then back to the OFF position before
the Remote Hybrid Start procedure can be
used again.
