will stop and the vehicle will operate normally.

controls (See the vehicle owner's manual for further details).

Remote Start Prevention and Shut down:

For safety and security reasons, the system will prevent remote start activation or shut
down the engine during remote start operation if any of the following occur:
• The hood is opened
• Gear selector is moved***
• Vehicle Security System is triggered
As a safety precaution, the vehicle will shut off if left unattended for 15 minutes.
Default remote start runtime can be changed: Refer to Message Center in the
Instrument Cluster chapter of your vehicle's owner manual for further details.
Power Window / Moonroof Disable (if factory equipped):
On certain model vehicles, each time the remote start feature is activated, all power
windows and the moonroof will be disabled while the vehicle is running via remote
start. The windows and moonroof will resume normal operation after the remote start
is shut down, or the vehicle is being used with the vehicle key.

Each time the remote start feature is activated, the power door locks will be activated
prior to the vehicle starting. The doors can be unlocked at any time via the vehicle key
fob.
