To stop your engine:

Move the shift lever to Park. 

Press the bottom of the
OFF/ACCESSORY button.

go into accessory mode and the
Driver Information Center will display

is moved to Park, the vehicle will
turn off.

REMOTE ADAPTIVE START 

This feature allows you to start the
engine from outside the vehicle
using the Keyless Access System
transmitter. (Normal transmitter
range is within 196 feet of the
vehicle.) Depending on outside
conditions, the remote start feature
can also start the vehicle’s automatic
climate control system as well as 
the heated and vented seats (if
equipped). Consult your Owner
Manual to set this function. 

The engine will run for about 10
minutes before turning itself off, but
it can be extended an additional 10
minutes by performing another
remote start sequence before the first
10 minutes expires, or after the
engine has shut off. No additional
remote starts are allowed until the
vehicle has been started with the
ignition key.

Remote Starting the Vehicle

3. When the vehicle starts, the

parking lamps will illuminate and

running. 

4. Repeat these steps for a 10-minute

time extension.

remote start, press the start button 
to transition to normal vehicle
operation.
