15 minute cycle. Pushing the Remote Start button a
third time shuts the engine off.

The parking lights will turn on and remain on during
Remote Start mode.
•
For security, power window and power sunroof
operation (if equipped) are disabled when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.

Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or
confined area. Exhaust gas contains carbon mon-
oxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious
injury or death when inhaled.

Keep key fobs away from children. Operation of the
Remote Start system, windows, door locks or other
controls could cause serious injury or death.

TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE

tem, push and release the START/STOP ignition button
prior to the end of the 15 minute cycle.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off if the
Remote Start button on the key fob is pushed again, or
if the engine is allowed to run for the entire 15 minute
cycle. Once the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN posi-
tion, the climate controls will resume previously set
operations (temperature, blower control, etc.).

RUN (Propulsion System Available) position by pushing
the ignition button with the key fob inside the vehicle,
and then pushing the ignition button one more time to
place the ignition in the OFF position.

cally adjust the settings depending on ambient condi-
tions. See "Remote Start Comfort Systems —
