Remote Vehicle Start
Your vehicle may have a remote start feature.
This feature allows you to start the engine from outside
the vehicle. It may also start the vehicle’s heating or
air conditioning systems. When you start your vehicle
using the remote start feature, the climate control
system will come on and adjust the interior to the
temperature settings that you left it set to when
you turned the vehicle off.
Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may require
a person using remote start to have the vehicle in
view when doing so. Check local regulations for
any requirements on remote starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is low
on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The remote start feature provides two separate starts
per ignition cycle, each with 10 minutes of engine
running time.
After your vehicle’s engine has been started two times
using the remote vehicle start button, the vehicle’s
ignition switch must be turned to ON/RUN and then
back to LOCK/OFF using the key before the remote start
procedure can be used again. SeeIgnition Positions on
page 2-21for information regarding the ignition positions
on your vehicle.If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the RKE
transmitter functions will have an increased range
of operation. However, the range may be less while
the vehicle is running.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2-3for additional
information.
/(Remote Start):This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if you have remote start.

Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things, like other
vehicles, look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could
hit a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.
