gine starts:
• The parking lights will turn on and remainon as long as the engine is running.
• The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.
• The engine will continue to run for 10 min- utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time

performed. • The second 10 minutes will start immedi-
ately when the Remote Engine Start func-
tion is performed 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 Engine Start limit.
