22 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
(GASOLINE)
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
