If the vehicle is low on fuel, do not use the
remote start feature. The vehicle may run
out of fuel.
Extending Engine Run Time
The engine run time can also be extended
by another 15 minutes, if during the first
15 minutes Steps 1 and 2 are repeated while
the engine is still running. An extension can
be requested, 30 seconds after starting. This
provides a total of 30 minutes.
The remote start can only be extended once.
When the remote start is extended, the
second 15-minute period is added on to the
first 15 minutes for a total of 30 minutes.
A maximum of two remote starts, or a
remote start with an extension, are allowed
between ignition cycles.
The ignition must be turned on and then off
before the remote start procedure can be
used again.
Canceling a Remote Start
To cancel a remote start, do one of the
following:
.Press and hold/until the parking lamps
turn off.
.Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
.Turn the vehicle on and then off.
Conditions in Which Remote Start Will
Not Work
The remote start will not operate if:
.The RKE transmitter is in the vehicle.
.The vehicle is not off.
.The hood is not closed.
.The hazard warning flashers are on.
.There is an emission control system
malfunction.
.The engine coolant temperature is
too high.
.The oil pressure is low.
.Two remote vehicle starts, or a single
remote start with an extension, have
already been used.
.The vehicle is not in P (Park).
Door Locks
{Warning
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
.Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. The doors can be

or even death from heat stroke.
Always lock the vehicle whenever
leaving it.
.Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop the vehicle. Locking the doors
can help prevent this from happening.
To lock or unlock the doors from outside the

Boost Gauge (Uplevel
Cluster Only)
See the Camaro High Performance
supplement for more information.
Metric
English
If equipped, this gauge indicates vacuum
during light to moderate throttle and boost
under heavier throttle.
It displays the air pressure level in the
intake manifold before it enters the engine's
combustion chamber.
The gauge is automatically centered at zero
every time the engine is started. Actual
vacuum or boost is displayed from this zero
point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as
driving in mountains and changing weather,
will slightly change the zero reading.

The engine oil pressure gauge shows the
engine oil pressure in kPa (kilopascals) when
the engine is running.
Oil pressure can vary with engine speed,
outside temperature and oil viscosity.
On some models, the oil pump will vary
engine oil pressure according to engine
needs. Oil pressure may change quickly as
the engine speed or load varies. This is
normal.
If the oil pressure warning light or Driver
Information Center (DIC) message indicates
oil pressure outside the normal operating
range, check the vehicle's oil as soon as
possible. SeeEngine Oil0247.
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
can damage the engine. Driving with the
engine oil low can also damage the
engine. The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil
level as soon as possible. Add oil if
required, but if the oil level is within the
operating range and the oil pressure is
still low, have the vehicle serviced.
Always follow the maintenance schedule
for changing engine oil.
