Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote starting feature. This
feature allows you to start the engine from outside of the
vehicle. It may also start up the vehicle’s heating or air
conditioning systems and rear window defogger. Normal
operation of the system will return after the key is turned
to the ON/RUN position.
If your vehicle has an automatic climate control system,
during remote start, the climate control system will default
to a heating mode during colder outside temperatures
and a cooling mode during warmer outside temperatures.
If your vehicle does not have an automatic climate control
system, during remote start, the climate control system
will turn on at the setting the vehicle was set to when the
vehicle was last turned off.
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.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, only one 10 minute remote
start is allowed to help avoid running out of fuel.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the RKE
transmitter functions will 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 2-4for additional
information.
/(Remote Start):This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if you have remote start.
To start your vehicle:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s lock button,
then immediately press and hold the transmitter’s
remote start button until the turn signal lights
ash. If you cannot see the vehicle’s lights,
press and hold the remote start button for at
least two seconds. The vehicle’s doors will lock.
Pressing the remote start button again after
the vehicle has started will turn off the ignition.
When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn
on and remain on while the vehicle is running.
3. If it is the vehicle’s rst remote start since it was
last driven, repeat these steps while the engine is
still running to give a 10 minute time extension.
Remote start can be extended one time.
When you enter the vehicle during a remote start,
and the engine is still running, turn the key to the
ON/RUN position to drive the vehicle.

5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal Home
Remote button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on continuously,
the programming is complete and your garage door
should move when the Universal Home Remote
button is pressed and released. You do not need
to continue the programming Steps 6 through 8
and can stop here.
If the Universal Home Remote indicator light
blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns
to a constant light, continue with the programming
Steps 6 through 8.
It may be helpful to have another person available
to assist with the remaining steps.6. After Steps 1 through 5 have been completed,
locate inside the garage the garage door opener

button. After you press this button, you will have
30 seconds to complete Step 8.
8. Immediately return to the vehicle. Firmly press
and hold the Universal Home Remote button,
chosen in Step 3 to control the garage door,
for two seconds, and then release it. If the garage
door does not move, press and hold the same
button a second time for two seconds, and then
release it. Again, if the door does not move,
press and hold the same button a third time
for two seconds, and then release.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate the garage door.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming
the Universal Home Remote System.” Do not repeat
Step 1, as this will erase all previous programming
from the Universal Home Remote buttons.Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need help programming the
Universal Home Remote System, call 1-800-355-3515
or go to www.homelink.com.
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to time out or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
Universal Home Remote to pick up the signal during
programming. Similarly, some U.S. gate operators
are manufactured to time out in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator or garage door opener
by using the “Programming Universal Home Remote”
procedures, regardless of where you live, replace Step 3
under “Programming Universal Home Remote” with
the following:
Continue to press and hold the Universal Home Remote
button while you press and release every two seconds
(cycle) the hand-held transmitter button until the
frequency signal has been successfully accepted by the
Universal Home Remote. The Universal Home Remote
indicator light will ash slowly at rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming Universal
Home Remote” to complete.
