Remote Vehicle Start
This vehicle may have a remote starting feature that
allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle.
It may also start the vehicle’s automatic climate control
system. When the remote start system is active, the
climate control system heats and cools the inside of the
vehicle according to the previous settings of the system
before turning the vehicle off. The windshield defroster
and/or rear window defogger turn on if it is cold outside.
If the vehicle has heated seats, they also turn on if the
interior or exterior temperature is cold enough. See
Heated and Ventilated Seats on page 1-7 for additional
information. Normal operation of the climate control
system returns after the ignition is turned to ON/RUN.
See Dual Climate Control System on page 3-24.
