REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
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).
NOTE:
•
The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic trans-

•
The Remote Start system will wait for the “Wait To Start”

allows time for the intake heater to pre-heat the incom-

“Wait To Start,” located in “Warning Lights And Mes-
