Starting the Engine Using Remote Start
To start the vehicle:
1. Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release
on the RKE transmitter.
3. Immediately after completing Step 2, press and hold
until the parking lamps flash. If the vehicle's lights cannot be seen, press and hold
for at least four seconds.
When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn on and remain on as long as the engine is running.
The doors will be locked and the climate control system will operate automatically if the vehicle has the automatic system, or at the same setting as when the vehicle was last turned off.
If the vehicle has an automatic climate control system and heated seats, the heated seats turn on during colder outside temperatures and shut off when the key is turned to ON/RUN. See Heated and Ventilated Front Seats on page 3‑9 for more information.
The rear window defogger and heated mirrors, if the vehicle has them, turn on during colder outside temperatures and turn off when the key is turned to ON/RUN.
After entering the vehicle during a remote start, insert and 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.
