Remote Vehicle Start

(if equipped)
This feature allows you to start the
engine from outside the vehicle by using
the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
(Normal transmitter range is within
approximately 200 feet of the vehicle.)
You can also set the climate control sys-
tem to heat or cool the vehicle interior
before getting in. 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 before the first 10 minutes
expires, or after the engine has shut off.
No additional remote starts are allowed
until the vehicle has been started with
the ignition key.
Starting the Vehicle
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the Lock button on
the transmitter.
3. Immediately press and hold the
remote start button for at least two
seconds or until the turn signal lights
flash, indicating the engine has
started.
4. When the vehicle starts, the parking
lamps will light and stay on while the
engine is running.
5. Repeat these steps for a 10-minute
time extension, which begins when
the second activation is made.
Turning Off the Engine After a
Remote Start
To turn off the engine after a remote
start, but before driving, press and hold
the Remote Start button until the parking
lamps turn off, OR press and release the
Hazard Warning Flasher button inside
the vehicle. Press the button again to
turn off the flashers.
Driving the Vehicle
To drive the vehicle after a remote start,
insert the ignition key into the ignition
cylinder and turn it to the Run position.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

Daytime Running Lamps make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle
during the day by lighting the amber
lamps located in the lower front fascia.
(Always turn on the regular headlamp
system when it is needed.)
You can turn off the DRL by rotating the
multifunction switch to the full-down
position. Rotate the switch down again
for the DRL to come back on.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
