To Enter Remote Start Mode
Push and release the Remote Start
button on the key fob twice within five
seconds. The parking lights will flash,
vehicle doors will lock, and the horn
will chirp twice (if programmed). Once the
vehicle has started, the engine will run for
15 minutes.
NOTE:
If your power door locks were unlocked,
Remote Start will automatically lock the doors.
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low,
the vehicle will start and then shut down in 10
seconds.
The park lamps will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
For security, power window and power sunroof
operation (if equipped) are disabled when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The engine can be started two consecutive
times (two 15-minute cycles) with the key
fob. However, the ignition must be placed in
the ON/RUN position before you can repeat
the start sequence for a third cycle.
