To Enter 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 horn will chirp twice (if

programmed). Then, the engine will start and the vehicle

will remain in the remote start mode for a 15-minute cycle.

NOTE:

The park lamps will turn on and remain on during

remote start mode.

For security, power window operation is disabled when

the vehicle is in the remote start mode.

The engine can be started two consecutive times (two

15-minute cycles) with the key fob. However, the igni-

tion switch must be cycled to the ON/RUN position

before you can repeat the start sequence for a third cycle.

Remote start will also cancel if any of the following occur:

The engine stalls or RPM exceeds 2500.

Any engine warning lamps come on.

The hood is opened.

The hazard switch is pushed.

The transmission is moved out of PARK.

The brake pedal is pushed.

To Exit Remote Start Mode Without Driving The
Vehicle

Push and release the remote start button one time or allow

the engine to run for the entire 15-minute cycle.

NOTE:

To avoid unintentional shut downs, the system will

disable the one time push of the remote start button for two

seconds after receiving a valid remote start request.

To Exit Remote Start Mode And Drive The Vehicle

Before the end of the 15-minute cycle, push and release the

unlock button on the key fob to unlock the doors and

disarm the vehicle security alarm (if equipped). Then,

insert the key into the ignition and place the ignition in the

ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN

position in order to drive the vehicle.
