Remote Vehicle Start
This vehicle may have a remote
starting feature that starts the engine
from outside of the vehicle.
If the vehicle has an automatic
climate control system, the climate
control system defaults to a heating
or cooling mode depending on the
outside temperatures. If the vehicle
does not have an automatic climate
control system, the system turns on
at the setting the vehicle was set to
when the vehicle was last turned off.
If the vehicle has an automatic
climate control system and heated
seats, the heated seats turn on
during colder outside temperatures
and shut off when the key is turned to
ON/RUN. SeeHeated Seats on
page 1-5for more information.
The rear window defogger and
heated mirrors, if the vehicle
has them, turn on during colder
outside temperatures and turn off
when the key is turned to ON/RUN.Laws in some communities may
restrict the use of remote starters.
For example, some laws may
require a person using the remote
start to have the vehicle in view
when doing so. Check local
regulations for any requirements on
remote starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start
feature if the vehicle is low on fuel.
The vehicle could run out of fuel.
If the vehicle has the remote start
feature, the RKE transmitter
functions have an increased range of
operation. However, the range may
be less while the vehicle is running.
There are other conditions which
can affect the performance of
the transmitter, seeRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2-3
for additional information.
/(Remote Start):This button is
located on the RKE transmitter if the
vehicle has remote start.
To start the vehicle:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release
Q, then
immediately press and hold
/
until the parking lamps ash. If the
vehicle’s lights can not be seen,
press and hold
/for at least
four seconds. The vehicle’s doors
lock. When the vehicle starts, the
parking lamps turn on and remain
on while the vehicle is running.
Pressing
/again, after the
vehicle has started, shuts the
vehicle off.
3. If it is the rst remote start since
the vehicle has been driven,
repeat these steps while the
engine is still running, to extend
the time by 10 minutes for the
engine to continue to run. Remote
start can be extended one time.
