The remote vehicle start feature provides two separate
starts, each with 10 minutes of engine running, or it
provides one start with 10 minutes of engine running
that may be extended 10 more minutes. If the transmitter
lock button is pressed and released and then the
remote start button is pressed and held again before
the rst 10 minutes of engine running time has expired,
10 minutes are added to the remaining minutes.
For example, if the lock button and then the remote
start buttons are pressed again after ve minutes of the
engine run time, 10 minutes are added and you now
have 15 minutes of engine running. The added ten
minutes are considered a second remote vehicle start.
Once two remote starts or a single start with a time
extension have been used, the vehicle must be started
normally before the remote start feature can be used
again.
The remote start feature does not operate if any of the
following occur:
The ignition is in any position other than LOCK/OFF.
A keyless access transmitter is inside the vehicle.
The hood is open.
There is an emission control system malfunction.
The remote start feature is not enabled. See
“Remote Start” underDIC Vehicle Customization on
page 3-72.
The engine turns off during a remote vehicle start if the
coolant temperature gets too high, or the oil pressure
is too low.
This vehicle was shipped from the factory with the
remote vehicle start system enabled. The system may
be disabled through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See “Remote Start” underDIC Vehicle Customization
on page 3-72for additional information.
If this 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

Young children who get into unlocked vehicles
may be unable to get out. A child can be
overcome by extreme heat and can suffer
permanent injuries or even death from heat
stroke. Always lock your vehicle whenever you
leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked

If the vehicle has a manual transmission, the vehicle is
programmed so that the doors will lock automatically
after the vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km). The doors
will automatically unlock when the ignition is turned
off and the key is removed from the ignition.
If someone needs to exit the vehicle once the doors
are locked, have that person use the manual lever
or power door lock switch. When the door is closed
again, it will not lock automatically. Use the manual
lever or the power door lock switch to lock the door.
