REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
Remote Vehicle Start System
(if equipped)
This feature allows you to start the
engine from outside the vehicle by using
the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
(Normal transmitter range is within 200
feet of the vehicle.) The remote start
capability must be turned on using the
Driver Information Center in order for
the Remote Vehicle Start System to
function. (See Driver Information
Center.)
You can also set the vehicle’s climate
control system to heat or cool the vehi-
cle interior before getting in. The engine
will run for about 10 minutes before
turning itself off, but can be extended
10 minutes more by performing another
remote start sequence at any time.
After two consecutive remote starts, no
additional remote starts are allowed
until the vehicle has been started with
the ignition key.
The remote start system will not oper-
ate if the hood is open or if the key is in
the ignition.
Starting the Vehicle
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the Lock button
on the transmitter
3. Immediately press and hold the
Remote Start button for about
two seconds.
4. When the vehicle starts, the parking
lamps will light and stay on while
the engine is running.
5. Repeat these steps for a 10-minute
time extension.
After a remote start, the key must be
inserted in the ignition and turned to
the Run ( ) position before driving.
Note: If the Check Engine light is illuminated
on the instrument panel cluster, the Remote
Vehicle Start System cannot be used. See
your dealer for the proper repairs.
