Push and release the Remote Start button on the key fob twice within five seconds. The parking lights will flash, vehicle doors will lock, and the horn will chirp twice (if programmed). Once the vehicle has started, the engine will run for 15 minutes.

NOTE:

If your power door locks were unlocked, Remote Start will automatically lock the doors.

If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low, the vehicle will start and then shut down in 10 seconds.

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.

The engine can be started two consecutive times (two 15 minute cycles) with the key fob. However, the ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN position before you can repeat the start sequence for a third cycle.

Push and release the remote start button one time or allow

the engine to run for the entire 15 minute cycle. 2

NOTE:

To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will disable with a one time push of the remote start button for two seconds after receiving a valid remote start request.

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 system (if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 15 minute cycle, place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

When Remote Start is activated, the heated steering wheel and driver heated seat features will automatically turn on in cold weather. In warm weather, the driver vented seat feature will automatically turn on when the remote start is

activated. These features will stay on through the duration of Remote Start or until the ignition switch is placed in the ON/ RUN position.

NOTE:

The Remote Start Comfort System can be activated and deac- tivated through the Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information on Remote Start Comfort System operation.
