Remote starting system — if equipped
This system uses the key fob to remote start the engine conveniently from outside the vehicle, while still maintaining security. The system has a range of approximately 328 ft (100 m). Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may reduce this range.
NOTE: • The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic transmission to be equipped with Remote Start. • Obstructions between the vehicle and the key fob may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote Start
All of the following conditions must be met before the engine will remote start: • Gear selector in PARK • Doors closed • Hood closed • Hazard switch off • Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pushed)
• Ignition key removed from ignition • Battery at an acceptable charge level • PANIC button not pushed • System not disabled from previous remote start event • Vehicle security alarm not active
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monox- ide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep key fobs away from children. Operation of the Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.
Remote Start Abort Message Display
The following messages will display if the vehicle fails to remote start or exits remote start prematurely: • Remote Start Aborted — Door Open • Remote Start Aborted — Hood Open • Remote Start Aborted — L/Gate Open
• Remote Start Aborted — Fuel Low • Remote Start Aborted — System Fault The message stays active until the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
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 and power sunroof operation (if equipped) are disabled when the vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
• If your power door locks were unlocked, Remote Start will automatically lock the doors.
• The engine can be started two consecutive times (two 15-minute cycles) with the key fob. However, the igni- tion must be placed in 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. • Low Fuel Light turns 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.
