outside the vehicle.
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
requirements.
Other conditions may affect the remote engine start function. See “Conditions the
remote engine start will not work” (P.3-
20).
