REMOTE START— IF EQUIPPED (DIESEL)
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).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold
weather, and to reach a comfortable climate in all
ambient conditions before the driver enters the
vehicle.
NOTE:

Obstructions between the vehicle and the key
fob may reduce this range.

The Remote Start system will wait for the Wait
To Start Indicator Light to extinguish before
cranking the engine. This allows time for the
engine pre-heat cycle to heat the cylinder air,
and is normal in cold weather. For further infor
-
mation on the Wait To Start Indicator Light and
the pre-heat cycle, see

page 127.
