ADAPTIVE REMOTE VEHICLE START

This feature allows you to start the
engine from outside the vehicle by
using the Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter. (Normal remote start
transmitter range is within 196 feet
(60 meters) of the vehicle.) The
remote start capability must be
turned on using the Driver
Information Center. (See Vehicle
Personalization Settings.)
The vehicle's automatic climate
control system will heat or cool the
vehicle interior to a preset
temperature, based on ambient
temperature. If conditions warrant,
the window defrost, rear defogger
and heated seats also will be
activated.
The engine will run for about 10
minutes before turning itself off, but
can be extended 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 started
with the ignition key.
