Using the Remote Control Start Function (Con’t)
Remote Start Safety Features:
For safety and security reasons, the system will shut down the engine during
remote start operation if any of the following occur:
• The brake pedal is pressed before the vehicle ignition key is turned on
• The hood is opened
As a safety precaution, the vehicle will shut off if left unattended for 10 minutes
(runtime can optionally be set to 15 minutes if desired**).
Entering the Vehicle While it is Running via Remote Start:
1.
Enter the vehicle. Do not press the brake pedal.
2.
Insert the key into the ignition and turn to the ON position.
3.
Press the brake pedal. The remote starter disengages and the vehicle will
operate normally.
Note
: If the vehicle stalls after attempting this procedure, make sure the key was
turned all the way forward in the ignition switch.
Pre-Heating or Pre-Cooling the Interior of the Vehicle:
Before exiting the vehicle, set the temperature controls to the desired setting and
operation. After the system starts the vehicle, the heater or air-conditioning will
activate and heat or cool the interior to your setting.
Using the “Quick-stop” Feature:
If you want to make a short stop and leave your vehicle running (to keep the interior
warm or cool, for instance), the quick stop feature allows you to do this while
keeping your vehicle secure and your keys with you.
To engage quick stop:
1. Stop the vehicle and place the transmission in PARK.
2. With your foot off the brake pedal, press and hold*
on the remote control. The
parking lights will turn on** and the horn will honk once, indicating that the
vehicle is now running via remote start.
3. Remove the keys from the ignition and exit the vehicle.
Note:
Do not leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle when using the
quick stop feature.
Service/Valet Mode:
In Service/Valet mode, the remote start function is temporarily disabled to prevent the
system from unexpectedly starting the engine while being serviced.
To engage the Service/Valet mode
, turn the ignition key to the ON or RUN
position, hold the break pedal in, and press the
button on the PowerCode remote
control transmitter 3-times. The horn will honk six (6) times to indicate that the remote
start system is in Service/Valet mode. The ignition key may now be turned OFF.
* “Press & Hold” refers to pushing the transmitter button for more than one second.
** See your dealer for details on available installation features and options.
