The remote start button is on the
transmitter.

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

If your vehicle has automatic climate
control, you can configure it to operate
when you remote start your vehicle. See
Climate Control

 (page 135).  A manual

climate control system will run at the
setting it was set to when you switched
your vehicle off.

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
when any of the following conditions occur:
•

The ignition is on.

•

The anti-theft alarm triggers.

•

You switch the feature off in the
information display.

•

The hood is open.

•

The transmission is not in park (P).

•

The battery voltage is below the
minimum operating voltage.

The label on your transmitter details the
starting procedure.

To remote start your vehicle:

1.

Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.

2. Press the remote start button twice.

The exterior lamps flash twice.

The horn sounds if the system fails to start.

Note:

You must press the push button

ignition switch on the instrument panel once
while applying the brake pedal before
driving your vehicle.

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

The parking lamps remain on and your
vehicle will run for 5, 10 or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.

Extending the Engine Running 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 the duration is set to 15 minutes, the
duration extends by another 15 minutes.
For example, if your vehicle had been
running from the first remote start for 10
minutes, your vehicle continues to run now
for a total of 30 minutes.  You can extend
the engine running time duration to a
maximum of 30 minutes.

Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after the engine stops running.

Turning Your Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting

E138625

Press the button once.  Your
vehicle and the parking lamps
turn off.

You may have to be closer to your vehicle
than when starting due to ground reflection
and the added noise of your running
vehicle.

You can switch this feature on or off in the
information display.  See General
Information

 (page 109).

Memory Feature

You can program your intelligent access
key to recall memory positions. See
