REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
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-
mission to be equipped with Remote Start.
•
Obstructions between the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
•
The Remote Start system will wait for the “Wait To Start”
amber telltale to extinguish before cranking the engine.
This allows time for the engine pre-heat cycle to pre-heat
the cylinder air, and is normal in cold weather. Refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” for further information on the “Wait
To Start” amber telltale and the pre-heat cycle.
