HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push and release the Remote Start button on the
key fob twice within five seconds. The vehicle
doors will lock, the parking lights will flash, and the

engine will start, and the vehicle will remain in the
Remote Start mode for a 15 minute cycle.
Pushing the Remote Start button a third time shuts
the engine off.
NOTE:
With Remote Start, the engine will only run for
15 minutes.
Remote Start can only be used twice.
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low,
the vehicle will start and then shut down in
10 seconds.
The park lights will turn on and remain on during
Remote Start mode.
For security, power window is disabled when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN posi -
tion before the Remote Start sequence can be
repeated for a third cycle.
All of the following conditions must be met before
the engine will Remote Start:
Gear selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Rear cargo doors closed
Hazard switch off
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
PANIC button not pushed
Fuel meets minimum requirement
System not disabled from previous Remote
Start event
Vehicle Security system not active

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is not illuminated

Ignition in OFF position
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote Start

end of the 15 minute cycle.

The Remote Start system will turn the engine off if the
Remote Start button on the key fob is pushed again, or
if the engine is allowed to run for the entire 15 minute
cycle. Once the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position, the climate controls will resume the previously

NOTE:To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will
disable for two seconds after receiving a valid
Remote Start request.

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 fobs away from children. Operation
of the Remote Start system, windows, door
locks or other controls could cause serious
injury or death.

(Continued)
If the driver or the passenger seats are not locked
in the facing forward position during movement
of the vehicle, a message will appear in the
instrument cluster display and an intermittent
chime will sound until key-off or until the swivel
seats are locked in the facing forward position.
Stop and move the swivel seats in the correct
position before proceeding.
If a fault is present in the system and it is not
possible to check the correct position of the swivel
seats, a message and the generic warning light
appears in the instrument cluster display to inform
about the failure. In these conditions, check the
status of the swivel seats and do not drive the
vehicle until the swivel seats are locked in the
facing forward position.
HEATED SEATS — IF EQUIPPED
On some models, the front driver and
passenger seats may be equipped with
heaters in both the seat cushions and
seatbacks. The controls for the front
heated seats are located on the lower outboard
side of the seat.
Heated Seat Switch

Push the switch once to turn on the heated seats.
Push the switch a second time to shut the heating
elements off.
NOTE:Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt
within two to five minutes.
FOLD DOWN TRAY — IF EQUIPPED
If your vehicle is equipped with a bench seat, the
seat is equipped with a fold-down tray that can be
used as a document support surface. To use the
fold-down tray, grab the pull tab and lower the tray.

Lowering The Fold-Down Tray

WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic illness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication,
alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical
condition must exercise care when using the
seat heater. It may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or seatback
that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been over -
heated could cause serious burns due to the
increased surface temperature of the seat.
