Remote Vehicle Start
The vehicle may have this feature
that allows you to start the engine
from outside the vehicle.
(Remote Vehicle Start):
This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if the vehicle has
remote start.
Vehicles with an automatic climate
control system will default to a
heating or cooling mode depending
on the outside temperature during a
remote start. A vehicle without
automatic climate control will default
to the last used heating or cooling
mode. Once the key is turned to
ON/RUN, the climate control system
will turn on at the setting the vehicle
was last set to. If the vehicle has
heated seats, they may come on
during a remote start. See Heated
Front Seats on page 3 7 for more
information.
Laws in some local communities
may restrict the use of remote
starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote
start to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any
requirements.
There are other conditions which
can affect the performance of the
transmitter. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2 3 for
additional information.
