This vehicle may have a remote starting feature that starts the engine from outside of the vehicle.

It may also start the vehicle's heating or air conditioning systems and rear window defogger. Normal operation of the climate control system returns after the key is turned to the ON/RUN position.

The climate control system turns on at the setting the vehicle was set to when the vehicle was last turned off.

Laws in some communities may restrict the use of remote starters. For example, some laws may require a person using the remote start to have the vehicle in view when doing so. Check local regulations for any requirements on remote starting of vehicles.

If the vehicle is low on fuel, only one 10 minute remote start is allowed to help avoid running out of fuel.

If the vehicle has the remote start feature, the RKE transmitter functions have an increased range of operation. However, the range may be less while the vehicle is running.

There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter, see Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System for additional information.

To start the vehicle:

1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release , then immediately press and hold until the turn signal lamps flash. If the vehicle's lamps cannot be seen, press and hold for at least two seconds. The vehicle's doors lock. Pressing again, after the vehicle has started, shuts the vehicle off.

When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps turn on and remain on while the vehicle is running.

3. After entering the vehicle during a remote start, and the engine is still running, turn the key to the ON/RUN position to drive the vehicle.

If the vehicle is left running it automatically shuts off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been done.

If it is the vehicle's first remote start since it was last driven, repeat these steps while the engine is still running to give a 10 minute time extension. Remote start can be extended one time.

To manually shut off a remote start:

The vehicle can be remote started two separate times between driving sequences. The engine runs for 10 minutes after each remote start. Or, the engine run time can be extended another 10 minutes within the first 10 minute remote start time frame, and before the engine stops.

For example, if and then are pressed again after the vehicle has been running for five minutes, 10 minutes are added, allowing the engine to run for 15 minutes.

The additional 10 minutes are considered a second remote vehicle start.

The vehicle must be started with the key once two remote starts, or a single remote start with one time extension has been done.

The vehicle can be started using the remote start feature again after the key is removed from the ignition.

The vehicle cannot be started using the remote start feature if the key is in the ignition, the hood is open, or if there is an emission control system malfunction.

The engine turns off during a remote start if the coolant temperature gets too high or if the oil pressure gets low.

If the vehicle does not have the remote vehicle start feature, it may have the remote start ready feature. This feature allows your dealer/retailer to add the manufacturer's remote vehicle start feature.

To add the manufacturer's remote vehicle start feature to the vehicle, see your dealer/retailer.
