Some systems, such as the air conditioner
system, will turn on during a remote start,
if the system was on the last time the ignition switch was turned off.
Laws in some local communities may
restrict the use of remote starters. For
example, some laws require a person using
remote start to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any require-
ments.
Other conditions may affect the remote
engine start function. See
“Conditions the
remote engine start will not work” later in
this section.
Other conditions can affect the perfor-
mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter.
See “Intelligent Key system” earlier in this
section.
Remote engine start operating range:
The remote engine start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within
the specified operating range from the
vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower,
and the Intelligent Key may not function
properly.
The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
Operating a remote engine start:
To use the remote start function to start the
engine, perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Push the LOCK
button to lock all
doors.
3. Within 5 seconds push and hold the remote engine start
button until
the turn signal lights illuminate. If the
vehicle is not within view, push and
hold the remote engine start
button for about 2 seconds.
The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
. The front parking lights will turn on and
remain on as long as the engine is
running.
. The doors will be locked and the air
conditioner system may turn on.
. The engine will continue to run for
about 10 minutes. Repeat the steps to
extend the time for an additional 10
minutes. See “Extending engine run
time” later in this section.

ing the vehicle” in the“5. Starting and
driving” section.
Extending engine run time:
The remote engine start function can be
extended one time by performing the steps
listed in “Operating a remote engine start”
earlier in this section. Run time will be
calculated as follows:
. The first 10 minute run time will start
when the remote engine start function
is performed.
. The second 10 minutes will start
immediately when the remote engine
start function is performed. For exam-
ple, if the engine has been running for
5 minutes, and 10 minutes are added,
the engine will run for a total of 15
minutes.
A maximum of two remote starts, or a
single start with an extension, are allowed
between ignition cycles.
The ignition switch must be cycled to the
ON position and then back to the OFF

any of the following conditions are present:
. The ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
. The hood is not securely closed.
. The hazard indicator flashers are on.
. The Intelligent Key warning light re-
mains on in the vehicle information

. Two remote engine starts, or a single
remote start with an extension, have
already been used.
. The shift lever is not in the P (Park)
position.
The remote engine start may display an
indicator in the vehicle information dis-
play. For an explanation of the indicator,
see “Operational indicators” in the“2.

cranking the engine, release the
accelerator pedal. Crank the engine
with your foot off the accelerator
pedalby depressing the brake pedal
and pushing the push-button igni-
tion switch to start the engine. If the
engine starts, but fails to run, repeat
the above procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the engine does not
start, push the ignition switch to OFF and
wait 10 seconds before cranking again,
otherwise the starter could be damaged.
4. Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at
moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather. In cold
weather, keep the engine running for a
minimum of 2 - 3 minutes before
shutting it off. Starting and stopping
the engine over a short period of time
may make the vehicle more difficult to
start. When racing the engine up to 4,000
rpm or more under the no load condi-
tion, the engine will enter the fuel cut
mode.
5. To stop the engine, shift the shift lever to the P (Park) position and push the
ignition switch to the OFF position.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start conditions
such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electro-
nic accessories that consume battery
power when the engine is not running
(Phone chargers, GPS, DVD players,
etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or
only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
REMOTE START (if so equipped)
Vehicles started with the remote engine
start function require the ignition switch to
be placed in the ON position before the
shift lever can be moved from the P (Park)
position. To place the ignition switch in the ON position, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is on
you.
2. Depress the brake pedal.
3. Push the ignition switch once to the ON position.
For additional information about the re-
mote engine start function, see “Remote
keyless entry system” in the“3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.
