diately when the remote engine start
function is performed. For example, if the engine has been running for 5
minutes, and 10 minutes are added, the
engine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
. Extending engine run time will count
towards the two remote start limit.
A maximum of two remote starts, or a single
start with an extension, are allowed be-
tween ignition cycles.
The ignition switch must be cycled to the ON
