CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intelli-
gent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start function can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within the speci-
fied operating range from the vehicle.
The remote engine start operating range is ap-
proximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.

perform the following: 1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Press the
LOCK button to lock all
doors.
3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the
remote start button until the turn signal lights
flash and the tail lamps turn on. If the vehicle
is not within view press and hold the
remote start button for at least 2 seconds. The following events will occur when the engine
starts:
● The parking lights will turn on and remain on
as long as the engine is running.
● The doors will be locked and the climate
control system may come on.
● The engine will continue to run for 10 min-
utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time for
an additional 10 minutes. For additional in-

ately when the remote start function is per-
formed again. 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.
