Make sure the vehicle is in a safe location when using remote engine start (i.e., a
well-ventilated area, away from any flammable materials).
Starting the Engine
Press the Lock button, then press and hold the Engine button within 5 seconds to 
remotely start the engine.
The engine runs for up to 10 minutes. To extend the run time for another 10
minutes, repeat the procedure during the initial 10 minutes.
While the engine is running, the climate control system adjusts the cabin 
temperature, the security system remains on, and lights and accessories remain
off.
Stopping the Engine
Press and hold the Engine button.
The engine will also stop if it has been running for more than 10 minutes, or if any 
door is opened without using the remote or smart entry.
Engine exhaust contains toxic carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can kill you or cause unconsciousness.
