2020 RAM 2500 Owners Manual - REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED (GASOLINE)



REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED (GASOLINE)

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.

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)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
PANIC button not pushed
 
Fuel meets minimum requirement
System not disabled from previous remote start event
Vehicle security alarm not active
Malfunction Indicator Light is not illuminated

WARNING!

Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (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. Opera- tion of the Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.

The following messages will display in the instrument cluster display if the vehicle fails to remote start or exits remote start prematurely:

Remote Start Cancelled — Door Open
Remote Start Cancelled — Hood Open
Remote Start Cancelled — Fuel Low
Remote Start Cancelled — System Fault
Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle to Reset

The instrument cluster display message stays active until the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.

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.

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.

To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will disable 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 secu- rity alarm system (if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 15 minute cycle, place the igni- tion 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.

The Remote Start Comfort system can be acti- vated and deactivated through the Uconnect System under “Auto-On Comfort And Remote Start”. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi- media” for further information on Remote Start Comfort System operation.
