GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
•
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.

ture. Once the timer expires, the system will automati-
cally adjust the settings depending on ambient condi-
tions. See "Remote Start Comfort Systems —
