Remote Engine

Start*

Start your vehicle's engine using the two-way remote transmitter from extended distances before you enter the vehicle. Available on Canadian models only.

Make sure the vehicle is in a safe location when using remote engine start (i.e., a well ventilated area, away from flammable materials).

*if equipped

Starting the Engine

Press the Lock button, then press and hold the ENGINE button.

The engine runs for up to 10 minutes. To extend the time for another 10 minutes, repeat the procedure during the initial 10 minutes.

While the engine is running, the climate control system adjusts the interior temperature, the security system remains on, and lights and accessories remain off.

Stopping the Engine

Press and hold the ENGINE button.

The engine will also stop if it has been running for more than 10 minutes, or if any door is opened without using the remote transmitter or keyless access.

WARNING

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic and can rapidly accumulate in closed or even partly enclosed areas. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you.

Never use the remote engine starter with the vehicle in a garage or other areas with limited ventilation.
