HOW TO USE REMOTE START
All of the following conditions must be met before the
vehicle will remote start:
•
Gear selector in PARK
•
Doors closed
•
Hood closed
•
Swing gate closed
•
Hazard switch off
•
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)
•
12 Volt battery at an acceptable charge level
•
Key fob Panic button not pushed
•
System not disabled from previous Remote Start
event
•
Vehicle Security system indicator flashing
•
Ignition in OFF position
•
Fuel level meets minimum requirement
•
All removable doors must not be removed
•
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is off while the
vehicle's propulsion system is active
WARNING!
•
Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or
confined area. Exhaust gas contains carbon mon-
oxide (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. Operation of the
Remote Start system, windows, door locks or other
controls could cause serious injury or death.
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 turn signals will flash twice (if enabled in
Uconnect Settings), and the horn will chirp twice (if
enabled in Uconnect Settings). Then the engine/vehicle
will start, and the vehicle will remain in the Remote
Start mode for a 15 minute cycle.
NOTE:
•
The vehicle can be started two consecutive times
(two 15 minute cycles) using the key fob. After two
Remote Start events have occurred, the ignition
must be placed in the RUN position before any addi-
tional Remote Start requests can be received.
•
The parking lights will turn on and remain on during
Remote Start mode.
•
For security, power window operation is disabled
when the vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
WITHOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Push and release the Remote Start button one time or
allow the Remote Start cycle to complete the entire
15 minute cycle.
In addition, the ignition can be placed in the RUN (Pro-
pulsion System Available) position by pushing the igni-
tion button with the key fob inside the vehicle, and then
pushing the ignition button one more time to place the
ignition in the OFF position.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
•
To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will
disable for two seconds after receiving a valid
Remote Start request.
•

SCHEDULED CABIN CONDITIONING
(SCC)
This feature allows the driver to pre-condition (warm up
or cool down) the passenger cabin based on a planned
departure time. The target temperature is preset to the
same values used by the Remote Start feature. Unlike
Remote Start, the driver does not need to initiate the
cabin conditioning by pushing the Remote Start button,
instead, a programmed departure time will be used.
Also, all scheduled cabin conditioning will be powered
by the vehicle's high voltage battery working in conjunc-
tion with any EVSE connected to the vehicle. Unlike
Remote Start, in SCC the vehicle's gas engine will not
start to provide power or heat for cabin conditioning.
In order to conserve the vehicle's high voltage battery
power, the driver can choose between allowing the bat-
tery to be drained of power down to <1%, or to stop the
SCC when the high voltage battery has been depleted
to 25% State Of Charge (SOC). The battery percentages
are displayed in the instrument cluster display.
A maximum of three independent schedule event tim-
ers are available for use by the SCC feature and Sched-
uled Charging feature for charging the high voltage bat-
tery. The timers may be used in any combination for
SCC and Scheduled Charging, but only three total tim-
ers are available.
