The Remote Engine Start operating range
is approximately 197 f t (60 m) from the ve-
hicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE
To use the Remote Engine Start feature to
start the engine perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Press the
button to lock all doors.
3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the
button until the turn signal lights
flash and the tail lamps turn on. If the
vehicle is not within view press and hold
the
button for at least 2 seconds.
The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
• The parking lights will turn on and remain on 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
for an additional 10 minutes. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Extending en-
gine run time” in this section.
Depress and hold the brake then push the
push-button ignition switch to the ON po-

EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The Remote Engine 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 Engine Start function is
performed.
• The second 10 minutes will start immedi- ately when the Remote Engine Start
function is performed again. For example,
if the engine has been running for 5 min-
utes, and 10 minutes are added, the en-
gine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
• Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine 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 po-
sition before the Remote Engine Start pro-
cedure can be used again.

Operating tips
• Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation. • Af ter parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3
minutes with the windows open to vent
hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This al-
lows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly.
• The air conditioning system should be operated for approximately 10 minutes at
least once a month. This helps prevent
damage to the system due to lack of lu-
brication.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
• If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature
over the normal range, turn the air condi-
tioner off. For additional information, refer
to “If your vehicle overheats” in the “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.
• When Remote Engine Start (if so equipped) is activated, the manual cli-
mate control system will default to the
last used heating or cooling mode.

circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.
