Remote Vehicle Start System - Chevrolet Malibu 2006 Getting To Know Manual

Remote Vehicle Start System

(if equipped)
This feature allows you to start the
engine from outside the vehicle by using
the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
(Normal transmitter range is within
about 200 feet of the vehicle.) The
remote start capability must be turned
on using the Driver Information Center
in order for the Remote Vehicle Start
System to function. (See Driver
Information Center.)
You can also set the vehicle's cli-
mate control system to heat or cool
the vehicle interior. (See Climate
Control and Remote Vehicle Start
or see Section 3 of your Owner
Manual.)
The engine will run for about 10 min-
utes before turning itself off, but can be
reset for 10 minutes more by performing
another remote start sequence at any
time. After two consecutive remote
starts, no additional remote starts are
allowed until the vehicle has been start-
ed with the ignition key.
Note: The Remote Vehicle Start System will
not operate if the hood is open or if the key
is in the ignition.
