REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED (DIESEL)
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The system
has a range of approximately 300 ft (91 m).
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and the key fob
may reduce this range.
The Remote Start system will wait for the Wait To
Start indicator light to extinguish before cranking
the engine. This allows time for the intake heater to
preheat the incoming air, and is normal operation in
cold weather. Refer to "Wait To Start Light", located
in "Warning Lights And Messages" in "Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel" for more information.

HOW TO USE REMOTE START

All of the following conditions must be met before the
engine will remote start:
Transmission in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Hazard switch off
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
PANIC button not pushed
Fuel meets minimum requirement
Water In Fuel Indicator Light is not illuminated

WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or
confined area. Exhaust gas contains carbon mon-
oxide which is odorless and colorless. Carbon mon-
oxide 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.
