How To Use Remote Start

This system uses the key fob to
start the engine conveniently from
outside the vehicle while still main-
taining security. The system has a
range of approximately 300 ft
(91 m).
NOTE:
• The vehicle must be equipped with an auto-
matic transmission to be equipped with Re-
mote Start.
• Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob
may reduce this range.
All of the following conditions must be met
before the engine will remote start:
• Gear Selector in PARK
• Doors closed
• Hood closed
• Liftgate closed
• Hazard switch off
• Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pushed)
• Battery at an acceptable charge level
• System not disabled from previous remote
start event
• Vehicle alarm system indicator flashing
• Ignition in STOP/OFF position
• Fuel level meets minimum requirement
• Vehicle security alarm is not signaling an
intrusion
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (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. Opera-
tion of the Remote Start System, windows,
door locks or other controls could cause
serious injury or death.
Remote Start Abort Message — If
Equipped
The following messages will display in the in-
strument cluster display if the vehicle fails to
remote start or exits remote start prematurely:
• Remote Start Aborted — Door Open
• Remote Start Aborted — Hood Open
• Remote Start Aborted — Liftgate Open
• Remote Start Aborted — Fuel Low
• Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To
Reset
The Remote Start Abort message stays active
until the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion.

To Enter Remote Start Mode

Push and release the remote start button on the
key fob twice within five seconds. The vehicle
doors will lock, the parking lights will flash, and
the horn will chirp twice (if programmed). Then,
the engine will start, and the vehicle will remain
in the Remote Start mode for a 15-minute cycle.
NOTE:
• If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low,
the vehicle will start and then shut down in
10 seconds.
• The park lamps will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
• For security, power window and power sun-
roof operation (if equipped) are disabled
when the vehicle is in the Remote Start
mode.
• The engine can be started two consecutive
times with the key fob. However, the ignition
must be cycled by pushing the START/STOP
button twice (or the ignition switch must be
cycled to the ON/RUN position) before you
can repeat the start sequence for a third
cycle.
