Remote start
The remote start feature allows you to start the engine from outside the
vehicle. If your transmitter has a
icon, you have remote start. The
remote start feature has an extended operating range which allows you
to remote start your vehicle from a farther distance from your vehicle.
All the buttons have this increased range performance capability when
equipped with remote start.
Vehicles with automatic climate control can be configured to operate
when the vehicle is started. Refer to
Remote start climate operation
in
the
Climate Controls
chapter for more information and also refer to
Message center
in the
Instrument Cluster
chapter to learn how to
enable different climate options. A manual climate control system will
run at the setting it was set to when the vehicle was last turned off.
To help make the vehicle as comfortable as possible, the engine idle can
be increased during a remote start. You can enable or disable engine idle
increase by selecting Remote Start Quiet in the message center. Refer to
Message center
in the
Instrument Cluster
chapter.
Many states and provinces have restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements
regarding remote start systems.
Note:
Do not use remote start if your vehicle is low on fuel.
