same setting as when the vehicle was last turned off and, based on outside temperature,
the windshield defroster and/or rear defogger will turn on.

1. Aim the keyless access transmitter at the vehicle. (Transmitter range depends on
operating conditions.)

running. The engine will continue running for 10 minutes.

only once.
After a remote start, the ignition must be turned to the On position by pressing the START
