3. Put the new battery in the transmitter, positive (+)
side down. Use a battery type CR2032 or
equivalent.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure to put it

Remote Vehicle Start
This feature allows you to start the engine from outside
the vehicle.
/(Remote Start):To start the vehicle using the

doors will be locked.
3. When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn
on and remain on while the vehicle is running.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 while the engine is still
running to add 10 minutes of engine running.If the vehicle is left running it will automatically shut off
after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been
done. To manually shut off a remote start, do any of the
following:
Aim the keyless access transmitter at the vehicle
and press the remote start button until the parking
lamps turn off.

2-9

You can also program the remote vehicle start system
to start up the vehicle’s automatic climate control
system. If this feature is turned on, the system monitors
the outside temperature and turns on the rear window
defogger, front window defogger, and heated or
ventilated seats, if equipped. See “Personal Settings
Menu” underVehicle Personalization on page 2-47.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of
remote starters, for example, requiring a person
using 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 your vehicle is low
on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The remote start feature provides two separate starts,
each with 10 minutes of engine running. If you press the
remote start button on the keyless access transmitter
again before the rst 10 minutes of engine running time
has expired, 10 minutes is added to the remaining
minutes. For example, if the remote start button
is pressed again after ve minutes of the engine run
time, 10 minutes is added and you now have 15 minutes
with the engine running. Once two remote starts or
20 minutes of the engine running have been provided,
the vehicle must be started using the keyless access
with pushbutton start feature, if the engine needs to be
restarted. SeeStarting the Engine on page 2-24for
more information regarding the keyless ignition.The remote start feature will not operate if any of the
following occur:
The check engine light is displayed.
The valet lockout switch is on.
The keyless access transmitter is in the vehicle.
The vehicle’s hood is open.
The vehicle personalization feature is not enabled.
An unauthorized vehicle entry or a vehicle theft
was attempted.
Your keyless access transmitter, with the remote start
button, provides an increased range of operation.
However, the range may be less while the vehicle is
running. As a result, you may need to be closer to your
vehicle to turn it off than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeKeyless Access
System on page 2-3.
