Safety Features
Power Window / Moonroof Disable (if equipped)
On certain model vehicles, each time the remote control start feature is activated, all
power windows and the moonroof (if equipped) will be disabled while the vehicle is
running via remote start. The windows and moonroof will resume normal operation
after the remote start is shut down, or the vehicle is being used with the key.
Automatic Door Locking
Each time the remote control start feature is activated, the power door locks will be
activated prior to the vehicle starting. The doors can be unlocked at any time via the
PowerCode remote control.
Starting with Doors Open
For safety reasons, all vehicles doors must be shut when attempting a remote start.
If any door is left open, the system will alert you by honking the horn 3 times when
attempting a remote start, then abort the process. Once the door is shut, the system
can be remote started normally.
Troubleshooting
Failed Attempt to Remote Start
When attempting a remote start of your vehicle, the system has several safety
checks that it performs. If any of these inputs are present that should not be, the
system will respond back to you with several horn “honks” to help you identify
which input is present. These “honks” will occur after initiating a start sequence
with the transmitter, the system will turn on the ignition, but then respond back with
several horn “honks” and abort the starting process.
When this occurs, count the number of “honks” and refer to the information below to
correct the situation preventing a remote start.
