WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the keyless ignition node is in
“OFF” mode, remove the Key Fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission 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 could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the vehicle.
REMOTE START
This system uses the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still maintaining security. The system has
a range of at least 300 ft (91 m).
The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate Control and (if equipped) the
optional heated seats and optional heated steering wheel depending on temperatures
outside and inside the car.
• Push REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds.
Pushing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, push UNLOCK button, insert the key in the ignition and turn
to the MAR/RUN position.
• With Remote Start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the
ignition key is placed in the MAR/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
NOTE:
The Remote Start Comfort System can be activated and deactivated through the
Uconnect®Settings. Refer to “Uconnect®Programmable Features” in “Electronics”
for more information on Remote Start Comfort System operation.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.

Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–icer Activation — If Equipped
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient temperature is less than 41° F
(5° C), the wiper De-Icer will be enabled. On exiting Remote Start, resume the
previous operation except if the De-Icer is active; the De-Icer timer and operation will
continue.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button for unauthorized operation. While the
Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid release
are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide
the following audible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or
turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will
flash.
To A r m :
Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or
closed), and close all doors.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition is cycled to MAR/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in
any manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
• The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door
lock plungers.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver
door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To D i s a r m T h e S y s t e m :
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the MAR/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle. However, you can
create conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater.
