Remote Vehicle Start (RVS)
The remote vehicle starting feature allows engine
starting from outside of the vehicle from a distance of up
to 195 feet (60 m). It also activates the vehicles
automatic climate control system, if equipped. If
moderate or warmer outside temperatures exist, the
climate control system will default to automatic
temperature control and fan speed to regulate and
maintain a moderate inside temperature. When the
outside temperature is cold, the climate control system
will start up the rear window defogger and default to the
front windshield defrost mode with the heat on and the
fan blower set to high. If the vehicle has heated seats,
they will also turn on. Cooled seats, if equipped, are not
activated during a remote start. Normal operation of the
climate control system will return after the key is turned
to RUN.
To operate the function, first press and release the lock
button on the keyless entry transmitter, then immediately
press and hold the remote vehicle start (RVS) button for
4 seconds. The vehicle park lamps will be illuminated to
indicate that the engine is running. The RVS function is
allowed to start the vehicle 2 times for 10-minute
intervals. If the vehicle is left running it will automatically
shut off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has
been done. If the remote control door lock receiver
(RCDLR) receives a second request for an RVS event
while already operating in RVS, the first timer will expire
and the second timer will start. For example, if 7 minutes
after the initial RVS request, the RVS event is extended,
the total time for the RVS event would be 17 minutes. To
extend an RVS event, first press and release the
transmitter lock button, then press and hold the RVS
button. When you enter the vehicle during a remote start
and the engine is still running, insert the key into the
ignition, and turn the key to RUN to drive the vehicle; this
will transition the vehicle to normal operation.
RVS can be deactivated by pressing the RVS button on
the keyless entry transmitter, pressing the hazard switch,
or by turning On the ignition, then turning it OFF. There
are also other safety and security measures that will
deactivate RVS, these include depressing the
accelerator pedal or opening the hood. RVS may not
function when DTCs are set. In these instances, the park
lights will flash once when the RVS signal is received by
the RCDLR, but the vehicle will not start. If the vehicle is
put into valet mode, if equipped, by pressing the valet
switch, RVS will also be disabled.
While in RVS mode all modules that are normally
powered when the ignition is ON are active. All on-board
diagnostics (OBD) II functions are also active.
The RVS feature can be turned off through the driver
information center (DIC). Other RVS features may also
be turned on or off via the DIC.
Enable/Disable RVS
To disable the remote vehicle start (RVS) function,
perform the following steps:
1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Access the Remote Start personalization features
within the driver information center (DIC).
3. Enable or disable the Remote Start feature.
The current state of RVS can be viewed through the DIC
display under the Remote Start the display will read
either ON or OFF.
When valet mode is enabled by pressing the valet switch
(if equipped), RVS operation will be disabled.
Hood Ajar Switch
The hood switch provides status of the hood to the body
control module for remote vehicle start (RVS) and
content theft deterrent (CTD) functions. It is integrated
into the hood latch assembly. The hood ajar switch
provides 2 separate inputs to the body control module
(BCM). These separate inputs allow the BCM to actively
monitor for a hood ajar switch fault.
