Remote Vehicle Start - Hummer 2008 H2 Owner's Manual

Remote Vehicle Start

The remote start feature allows you to start the engine
from outside of the vehicle. It may also start up the
vehicle's heating or air conditioning systems and rear
window defogger. Normal operation of the system
will return after the key is turned to the ON/RUN
position.
During a remote start, the climate control system will
default to a heating mode during colder outside
temperatures and a cooling mode during warmer outside
temperatures.
During a remote start, the rear window defogger and
heated mirrors, if equipped, will turn on during colder
outside temperatures and will shut off when the
key is turned to ON/RUN.
During a remote start, the heated seats will turn on
during colder outside temperatures and will shut
off when the key is turned to ON/RUN. See Heated
Seats on page 1-4 for additional information.

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.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is
low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The RKE transmitter with the remote start button,
provides an increased range of operation. However, the
range may be less while the vehicle is running. As a
result, you may need to be closer to your vehicle to turn
it off, than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, see Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2-4 for additional
information.
