Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is low
on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The remote start feature provides two separate starts,
each with 10 minutes of engine running. If you press
the lock button and then hold the remote start button
on the keyless access transmitter again for at least
three seconds before the first 10 minutes of engine
running time has expired, 10 minutes is added to the
remaining minutes. For example, if the remote start is
initiated again after five minutes of the engine run time,
10 minutes is added and you now have 15 minutes with
the engine running. Once two remote starts or 20 minutes
of the engine running have been provided, the vehicle
must be started using the keyless access with pushbutton
start feature, if the engine needs to be restarted. See
Starting the Engine on page 2-27 for more information
regarding the keyless ignition.
The remote start feature will not operate if any of the
following occur:
•
The check engine light is displayed. See “Check
Engine Light” under Malfunction Indicator Lamp
on page 3-66.
•
The valet lockout switch is on.
•
The keyless access transmitter is in the vehicle.
•
The vehicle’s hood is open.
•
The vehicle personalization feature is not enabled.
•
An unauthorized vehicle entry or a vehicle theft
was attempted.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the keyless
access transmitter functions will have an increased
range of operation. However, the range may be
less while the vehicle is running.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, see Keyless Access
System on page 2-4.
