REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED (DIESEL)
This system uses the key fob to start the engine conveniently from outside the vehicle while still maintaining security. The system has a range of approximately 300 ft (91 m).
Obstructions between the vehicle and the key fob may reduce this range.
The Remote Start system will wait for the Wait To Start indicator light page 135 to extinguish before cranking the engine. This allows time for the engine pre-heat cycle to pre-heat the cylinder air, and is normal in cold weather. For further information on the Wait To Start indicator light and the pre-heat cycle see .
