Note: Do not use remote start if your fuel
level is low.

E138625

The remote start button is on the
transmitter.

This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle.  The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.

Vehicles with automatic climate control
can be configured to operate when the
vehicle is remote started.  See Automatic
Climate Control (page 127).

Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
remote start systems.

The remote start system does not work if:
•

The ignition is on.

•

The alarm system is triggered.

•

You switch off the feature in the
information display.  See General
Information (page 102).

•

The hood is open.

•

The transmission is not in park (P).

•

The vehicle battery voltage is too low.

•

The service engine soon light is on.

Remote Starting Your Vehicle

Note:  You must press each button within
three seconds of each other.  If you do not
follow this sequence, your vehicle does not
start remotely, the direction indicators do
not flash twice and the horn does not sound.

E138626

The tag with your transmitter details the
starting procedure.

To remote start your vehicle:

1.

Press the lock button.

2. Press the remote start button twice.

The exterior lamps flash twice.

The horn sounds if the system fails to start.
See General Information (page 102).

The power windows do not work during
the remote start and the radio does not
turn on automatically.

The parking lamps remain on and the
vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.  See General
Information (page 102).

Extending the Vehicle Run Time

To extend the engine running time duration
of your vehicle during remote start, repeat
steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running.
If you programmed the duration to last 10
minutes, the second 10 minutes will begin
after what is left of the first activation
time.  For example, if your vehicle had been
running from the first remote start for 5
minutes, your vehicle continues to run now
for a total of 20 minutes.  You can extend
the remote start up to a maximum of 35
minutes.

Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after a vehicle shutdown.

Turning Your Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting

E138625

Press the button once.  The
parking lamps turn off.

You may have to be closer to

your vehicle to remotely switch off your
vehicle after remote starting. This is due
to the added noise of your running vehicle.

You can disable or enable the remote start
system through the information display.
See General Information (page 102).

status feedback of remote start or stop

memory positions when you unlock your
vehicle.  See Memory Function (page 142).

REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. All but one of the keys can
be activated with these restricted modes.

Any keys that remain unprogrammed are
referred to as administrator keys or admin
keys. They can be used to:

•

Create a MyKey.

•

Program configurable MyKey settings.

•

Clear all MyKey features.

When you have created a MyKey, you can
access the following information by using
the information display to determine:
•

How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.

•

The total distance your vehicle traveled
with a MyKey.

Note: Switch the vehicle on to use the
system.

Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.

Note: For vehicles equipped with
push-button start, when both a MyKey and
an admin remote transmitter are present,
the admin remote transmitter will be
recognized by the vehicle while switching
the vehicle on to start the vehicle.

Non-configurable Settings

The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:
•

Safety belt reminder. You cannot
disable this feature. The audio system
will mute when the driver and front
seat passengers’ safety belts are not
fastened.

•

Early low fuel or charge. The low-fuel
or low charge warning activates earlier,
giving the MyKey user more time to
refuel or recharge.

•

Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid,
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)
with cross traffic alert and forward
collision warning.

•

Satellite radio adult content
restrictions, if equipped on your vehicle.

Configurable Settings

With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle the
key or restart the vehicle. You can also
change the settings afterward with an
admin key.

•

A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal or by
setting cruise control.

WARNING

Do not set MyKey maximum speed
limit to a limit that will prevent the
driver from maintaining a safe speed

considering posted speed limits and
prevailing road conditions. The driver is
always responsible to drive in accordance
with local laws and prevailing conditions.
Failure to do so could result in accident or
injury.

•

Various vehicle speed minders can be
set. Once you select a speed, it will be
shown in the display, followed by an
audible tone when the preselected
vehicle speed is exceeded.

•

Audio system maximum volume of
45%. A message will be shown in the
display when you attempt to exceed
the limited volume. Also, the
speed-sensitive or compensated
automatic volume control will be
disabled.

•

Always on setting. When this is
selected, you will not be able to switch
off AdvanceTrac™ or traction control,
911 Assist or Emergency Assistance, or
the do not disturb feature (if your
vehicle is equipped with these
features).
