! Remote start safety features
For safety and security reasons, the
remote engine start system will prevent
starting (or stop the engine if running) and
sound the horn twice if any of the following
conditions is detected. In addition, the fob
will flash and beep 3 times.
. The total run-time has exceeded 20
minutes.
. The brake pedal is depressed.
. A key is in the ignition switch.
. The engine hood is open.
. The engine idle speed exceeds 3,500
rpm.
. The security alarm is triggered.
. The select lever is not in the "P"
position.
If the system detects any door (including
the rear gate) open during operation, it will
prevent starting or stop the engine (for
models without push-button start system),
and sound the horn and flash side marker
lights, tail lights, and parking lights 6 times.
In addition to the items above, if the
vehicle's engine management system
determines there is a safety risk due to a
vehicle-related problem, the vehicle will
power down and the horn will sound 3
times.
NOTE
. If the alarm system is armed at the
time of remote engine starter activa-
tion (the security indicator light on
the combination meter is flashing),
the alarm system will remain armed
throughout the remote start run
cycle.
. If the alarm system is disarmed at
the time of remote engine starter
activation (the security indicator
light on the combination meter is
not flashing), the alarm system will
remain disarmed throughout the
remote start run cycle.
! Remote start operation - fob con-
firmation
Your remote engine starter fob is a
bidirectional transceiver that can confirm
system operation with several different
visual and audible indications. The fob's
LED-backlit button and internal piezo
buzzer will indicate status of the system
using the following flash and beep se-
quences, provided the fob is within opera-
tional range of the system.
