the same set-

ting as when

the vehicle was last turned off to heat or

cool the vehicle interior.
After a remote start, the engine will run

for about 10 minutes before turning

itself off, but can be extended 10 min-

utes by performing another remote start

sequence at any time. After two consec-

utive remote starts, no additional remote

starts are allowed until the vehicle has

been started with the ignition key. 

Starting the Vehicle

vehicle.

2. Press and release the 

(Lock)

button on the transmitter.

3. Immediately press and hold the 

(Remote Start) button for about four

seconds.

lamps will light and stay on while the

engine is running.

5. Repeat these steps for a 10-minute

time extension.

When you enter the vehicle after a

remote start, the key must be inserted 

in the ignition and turned to the Run

position before driving.

Automatic Headlamp System

Your G5 is equipped with an Automatic

headlamps and other exterior lamps at

night or when necessary. The exterior

lamps also can be operated manually.
The Automatic Headlamp System’s light

sensor is located on top of the instru-

ment panel. To ensure proper system

operation, avoid placing any objects on

or near the sensor.

Exterior Lamps

The Remote Vehicle Start feature

will not operate if the key is in the igni-

tion, a door or the hood is open, or the

Check Engine light is illuminated on the

instrument panel cluster.
