REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
This system uses the key fob to start
the engine conveniently from outside
the vehicle while still maintaining se-
curity. The system has a range of
approximately 300 ft (91 m).
NOTE:
• The vehicle must be equipped with an auto-
matic transmission to be equipped with Re-
mote Start.
• Obstructions between the vehicle and the key
fob may reduce this range.
• The Remote Start system will wait for the "Wait
To Start" amber telltale to extinguish before
cranking the engine. This allows time for the
engine pre-heat cycle to pre-heat the cylinder air,
and is normal in cold weather. Refer to "Warning
And Indicator Lights" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" in the Owner's Manual at
www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owner-manual.html
(U.S. Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca
(Canadian Residents) for further information.
