roof (if equipped) will remain active for three
minutes after the ignition is cycled to the OFF
mode. Opening either front door will cancel

brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in the ON/RUN mode. A child

• If an engine fault is present or fuel level is
low, the vehicle will start and then shut
down in 10 seconds.• The park lamps will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
• For security, power window and power sun-
roof operation (if equipped) are disabled
when the vehicle is in the Remote Start
mode.

times with the key fob. However, the igni-
tion must be cycled by pushing the START/
STOP button twice (or the ignition switch
must be cycled to the ON/RUN position)
before you can repeat the start sequence
for a third cycle.
To Exit Remote Start Mode Without

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord in-
jury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must
exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods.

wheel that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or steering wheel covers of
any type and material. This may cause
the steering wheel heater to overheat.
