How do I use Remote Start System?
Remote Starting the Vehicle
The label on your transmitter details the starting procedure. To remote start your vehicle, first press the lock button to lock all the doors. Then press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash twice.
The horn will sound if the system fails to start, unless quiet start is on. Quiet start will also run the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise. It can be switched on or off in the information display. See General Information.
The power windows will not work during the remote start and the radio will not turn on automatically. The parking lamps will remain on and the vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes, depending on the setting.
Remote Starting with an Intelligent Access Transmitter
If the vehicle has been remote started with an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must switch the ignition on before driving your vehicle. With an intelligent access transmitter, you must press the Start/Stop button on the instrument panel once while applying the brake pedal before driving your vehicle.
Extending the Remote Start Run Time
To prevent the vehicle from turning off after a remote start, repeat steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still running. This will extend the run time for another remote start duration. If you programmed the duration to last ten minutes, the second ten minutes will begin after what is left of the first activation time.
For example, if the vehicle had been running for five minutes from the first remote start, the second remote start will cause the vehicle to continue to run for a total of 15 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 the Vehicle Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once to turn the vehicle off after remote starting. The parking lamps will turn off. To turn the vehicle off, you may have to be closer to the vehicle than when starting due to ground reflection and added noise from the running vehicle.
Memory Feature
You can use your intelligent access keyfob recall the memory seat position, mirror position, and steering column position (if equipped) upon remote start. The keyfob must first be linked to a pre-set position. See Memory Function.
