Vehicles with an automatic climate control
system (if so equipped) may default to ei-
ther heating or cooling mode depending
on outside and cabin temperatures. For
additional information, see “Remote Engine
Start with Intelligent Climate Control”
(P. 4-41). Laws in some local communities may re-
strict or prohibit the use of Remote Engine
Start, or the amount of time a parked ve-
hicle engine may idle. For example, some
laws require a person using Remote Engine
Start to have the vehicle in view or may
restrict idling time except in freezing tem-
peratures. Check local regulations for any
requirements.

through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
