REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE To use the Remote Engine Start feature perform the following: 1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle. 2. Press the button to lock all doors. 3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the
button until the turn signal lights flash and the tail lamps turn on. If the vehicle is not within view press and hold the button for at least 2 seconds.
The following events will occur when the engine starts: • The parking lights will turn on and remain
on as long as the engine is running. • The doors will be locked and the climate
control system may come on. • The engine will continue to run for 10 min-
utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time for an additional 10 minutes. For addi- tional information, see “Extending engine run time” (P. 3-20).
Press and hold the brake pedal while switching the ignition to the ON position before driving. For additional information, see “Driving the vehicle” (P. 5-18).
EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME The Remote Engine Start feature can be extended one time by performing the steps listed in “Remote starting the vehicle” (P. 3-20). Run time will be calculated as follows: • The first 10–minute run time will start
when the Remote Engine Start function is performed.
• The second 10 minutes will start immedi- ately when the Remote Engine Start function is performed again. For example, if the engine has been running for 5 min- utes, and 10 minutes are added, the en- gine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
• Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts, or a single start with an extension, are al- lowed between ignition cycles. The vehicle must be driven at speeds of 4 MPH (7 km/h) before the remote engine start procedure can be used again.

press until the parking lights turn off. • Turn on the hazard indicator flashers. • Cycle the ignition switch on and then off. • The extended engine run time has
expired. • The first 10–minute timer has expired. • The engine hood has been opened. • The vehicle is shifted out of P (Park). • The alarm sounds due to illegal entry into
the vehicle. • The ignition switch is pushed without an
Intelligent Key in the vehicle. • The ignition switch is pushed with an In-
telligent Key in the vehicle but the brake pedal is not depressed.
