Starting the Engine Using
Remote Start
To start the vehicle:
1. Aim the RKE transmitter at the
vehicle.
2. Press
Q
on the RKE transmitter.
3. Immediately after completing
Step 2, press and hold
/
until
the parking lamps flash. If the
vehicle's lights can not be seen,
press and hold
/
for at least
four seconds.
When the vehicle starts the parking
lamps will turn on and remain on
as long as the engine is running.
The doors will be locked and the
climate control system will operate
automatically if the vehicle has the
automatic system, or at the same
setting as when the vehicle was
last turned off.
If the vehicle has an automatic
climate control system and heated
seats, the heated seats turn on
during colder outside temperatures
and shut off when the key is turned
to ON/RUN. See
Ventilated Front Seats on page 3
for more information.
The rear window defogger and
heated mirrors, if the vehicle has
them, turn on during colder outside
temperatures and turn off when the
key is turned to ON/RUN.
After entering the vehicle during a
remote start, insert and turn the key
to the ON/RUN position to drive the
vehicle.
If the vehicle is left running it
automatically shuts off after
10 minutes unless a time extension
has been done.
Extending Engine Run Time
To extend the engine run time by
10 minutes, repeat Steps 1 though 3
while the engine is still running.
The engine run time can only be
extended if it is the first remote start
since the vehicle has been driven.
Remote start can be extended
one time.
If the remote start procedure is
used again before the first
10 minute time frame has ended,
the first 10 minutes will immediately
expire and the second 10 minute
time frame will start.
For example, if the lock button and
then the remote start buttons are
pressed again after the vehicle
has been running for five minutes,
10 minutes are added, allowing
the engine to run for a total of
15 minutes.
A maximum of two remote starts or
remote start attempts are allowed
between ignition cycles.
