Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote start feature. This
feature allows you to start the engine from outside
the vehicle. It may also start the vehicle’s heating or
air conditioning systems and rear window defogger.
When the remote start system is active and the vehicle
has an automatic climate control system, it may
automatically regulate the inside temperature. Normal
operation of the system will return after the key is
turned to ON. SeeAutomatic Climate Control System
on page 3-27for additional information.
Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may require
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 time.
The remote vehicle start feature needs to be reset
after your vehicle’s engine is started two times using
the transmitter’s remote start button. The remote
start system is reset by inserting the vehicle’s key into
the ignition switch and turning it to ON. SeeIgnition
Positions on page 2-23for information regarding
the ignition positions on your vehicle.You can start your vehicle’s engine from approximately
197 feet (60 m) away. However, the range may be
less while the vehicle is running, and 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 may affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote Keyless
Entry System on page 2-5.
/(Remote Start):If your vehicle has the remote
start feature, the keyless entry transmitter will have a
button with this symbol on it.
To start the vehicle using the remote start feature,
do the following:
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 vehicle’s turn signal
lights ash.
3. When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will
turn on and remain on while the engine is running.
The engine will shut off automatically after
10 minutes, unless a time extension has been
done, or the vehicle’s key is inserted into the
ignition switch and turned to ON.
If you enter the vehicle after a remote start, and
the engine is still running, insert the key into the
ignition switch and turn it to ON to drive the vehicle.

Delayed Locking
This feature allows the driver to delay the locking of the
vehicle. It will not operate with the key in the ignition.
SeeLockout Protection on page 2-14.
Press the driver’s power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter lock button once.
With the key removed from the ignition and the
driver’s door open, the following will occur:
Three chimes will sound to signal the delay.
All doors will lock and the turn signals will ash once
ve seconds after the last door has been closed.
The horn will chirp if the horn chirp feature is
enabled. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 3-52.
If a door is opened before the ve seconds has
elapsed, the doors will not lock until ve seconds
after all doors are closed.
If the power door lock switch or the transmitter lock
button is pressed twice when leaving the vehicle, the
doors will lock immediately.
If the power door unlock switch or the transmitter unlock
button is pressed, the doors will unlock immediately
and not lock automatically after the doors are closed.
This feature is turned on at the factory but may be
turned off through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Programmable Automatic Door
Locks
Your vehicle is programmed at the factory to lock all
doors automatically when the following are met:
all doors are closed
the ignition is on
the shift lever is moved out of PARK (P).
This feature cannot be disabled.
When the shift lever is moved back to PARK (P), all
doors will unlock.
If someone needs to exit the vehicle once the doors
are locked, have that person use the manual lock knob
or power door unlock switch.
The power door lock and unlock functions can be
programmed through prompts displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). These prompts allow you
to choose various lock and unlock settings. See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-52.

4. The indicator light will ash slowly at rst and then
rapidly after Universal Home Remote successfully
receives the frequency signal from the hand-held
transmitter. Release both buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal Home
Remote button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device should
activate when the Universal Home Remote button
is pressed and released.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under
“Programming Universal Home Remote.”
Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of
the programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds
and then turns to a constant light, continue with
Steps 6 through 8 following to complete the
programming of a rolling-code equipped device,
most commonly, a garage door opener.
6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn”
or “Smart” button. This can usually be found
where the hanging antenna wire is attached to
the motor-head unit.7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the
programmed Universal Home Remote button
for two seconds, then release. Repeat the
press/hold/release sequence a second time, and
depending on the brand of the garage door opener,
or other rolling code device, repeat this sequence
a third time to complete the programming.
The Universal Home Remote should now activate
your rolling-code equipped device.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming
Universal Home Remote.” You do not want to repeat
Step 1, as this will erase all previous programming
from the Universal Home Remote buttons.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down to the latched position. When the turn is nished,
the lever will return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
A warning chime signal will come on if you have left
your turn signal on for more than 2/3 mile (1 km).
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
ash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won’t see your turn signal.If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and then check the
fuse. SeeFuses on page 5-99.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high beam,
push the turn signal/multifunction lever away from you.
When the high beams
are on, a light on the
instrument panel cluster
also will be on if the
ignition is in ON.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low beam,
pull the turn signal lever toward you.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps
momentarily to signal a driver in front of you that
you want to pass.
To use it, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever toward
you until the high-beam headlamps come on, then
release the lever to turn them off.
