The Remote Start System comes pre-programmed to start the vehicle when the
button on the remote control transmitter is pressed 2 times. The Remote Start System
may be programmed instead to activate by pressing and holding** the button
on the remote control transmitter for more than 2.5 seconds by following these
instructions.
1. Open the driver’s door and enter the vehicle, close driver’s door.
2. Ensure vehicle is in Park and the brake pedal is not depressed.
3. Turn the vehicle ignition to the ON position.
4. Press the button on the remote control transmitter 3 times within 5 seconds
(Pausing for 1 second between each button press).
The horn will honk 1 time and the 2-way transmitter (if equipped) will beep 1 time,
indicating that the remote start system will now start with a “Press and hold”.
5. Turn the vehicle ignition to the OFF position to exit the programming mode.
6. Repeat steps 1 - 5 to return the vehicle to the factory setting.

Why Your Vehicle May Not Start Via Remote:
•
The no-start condition may not be related to the remote start function. Verify that
the vehicle starts with the ignition key or via push-button start (if equipped).
•
The vehicle has already been started via the remote 2 times or a total of 30
minutes (on some models).
For enviromental purposes, the vehicle can only be remote started twice in 1
hour. This restriction will be reset by waiting 1 hour, or by turning the vehicle
ignition to ON then OFF.
•
The hood is ajar.
•
The battery in the remote start transmitter needs replacing.
•
The remote start feature has been disabled in the instrument cluster menu.
•
Low vehicle battery.
•
An instrument cluster maintenance indicator light is illuminated.
Extending Run Time:
The run time of the Remote Start System can be doubled while the vehicle is running
via remote start (adding another 5/10/15 minutes, depending on the vehicle settings)
by pressing the button on the remote control transmitter 2 times.
