Remote Engine

Start*

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

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

Starting the Engine

Press the Lock button, then press and hold the Engine button within 5 seconds to remotely start the engine.

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.

While the engine is running, the climate control system adjusts the cabin 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

Engine exhaust contains toxic carbon monoxide gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can kill you or cause unconsciousness.

Never use the remote engine starter when the vehicle is parked in a garage or other area with limited ventilation.
