Remote Start Abort Message On Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) — If Equipped
The following messages will display in the EVIC if the
vehicle fails to remote start or exits remote start prema-
turely:
•Remote Start Aborted — Door Ajar
• Remote Start Aborted — Hood Ajar
• Remote Start Aborted — Trunk Ajar
• Remote Start Aborted — Fuel Low
• Remote Start Aborted — System Fault
The EVIC message stays active until the ignition is turned
to the RUN position.
To Enter Remote Start Mode
Press and release the REMOTE START button
on the RKE transmitter twice within five sec-
onds. The vehicle doors will lock, the parking
lights will flash and the horn will chirp twice (if
programmed). Then, the engine will start and the vehicle
will remain in the Remote Start mode for a 15-minute
cycle.
NOTE:
• For security, power window operation is disabled
when the vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
• The engine can be started two consecutive times (two
15 minute cycles) with the RKE transmitter. However,
the ignition switch must be cycled to the ON/RUN
position before you can repeat the start sequence for a
third cycle.
30 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:The convertible top must be either closed and
latched or open and latched to release the trunk.
The trunk release button on the dash
will be disabled if the vehicle is locked
by pressing the power door lock
switch or by pressing the LOCK but-
ton on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. The trunk release
button will be enabled when the ve-
hicle is unlocked by the RKE or if the
key is inserted into the ignition and
turned to ON/RUN or START.
NOTE: This provides a locked area in the vehicle even if
the convertible top is open.
To unlatch the trunk lid from outside the vehicle, press
and release the TRUNK RELEASE button on the RKE
transmitter two times. With the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, the
word “dECK” will display in the odometer indicating the
trunk is open. The odometer display will reappear once
the trunk is closed or if the trip button is pressed.
With the ignition switch in the LOCK position or with the
key out, the word “dECK” will display until the trunk is
closed.
On vehicles equipped with the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC), the words “Trunk Ajar” will
display.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Before operating the power top, make sure that no
moving parts of the convertible top can injure a
person or animal.
• Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near
the convertible top components, the upper wind-
shield area, the shelf area behind the rear seats, or
the convertible top stowage area while raising or
lowering the convertible top.
• When using the power top button on RKE trans-
mitter, if potential danger exists while lowering the
top, release the button immediately to interrupt the

(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•When using the power top switch on the center
console, if potential danger exists while raising the
top, release the switch immediately to interrupt the
operation.
• Only drive the vehicle with the convertible top
completely closed and latched or fully lowered into
its stowage compartment.
• Do not operate the power top when the vehicle is in

Cargo Shield
The cargo shield is located in the trunk. Before lowering
the convertible top, you must unfold the cargo shield and
seat the tabs at each end of the cargo shield in the V slots
in the trunk liner. Doing so closes a switch that allows top
operation. If the switch is not closed, a warning message
displays in the instrument cluster to notify the driver.

The PTCM will lockout the power convertible top system if the vehicle charging system is malfunctioning, or the
battery is run down, or the hydraulic pump is overheating. In addition, the system prohibits lowering the top when
ambient temperature is at 0°F (-18°C) or lower and raising the top when ambient temperature is below -40°F (-40°C).
