REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
(GASOLINE)
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 328 ft (100 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold
weather, and to reach a comfortable climate in all ambi-
ent conditions before the driver enters the vehicle.
NOTE:
•
The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic
transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.
•
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may
reduce this range page 366.
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.

HOW TO USE REMOTE START

TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE

To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote Start sys-
tem, either push and release the unlock button on the
key fob to unlock the doors, or unlock the vehicle using
Keyless Enter 'n Go™ — Passive Entry via the door
handles, and disarm the Vehicle Security system
(if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 15 minute
cycle, push and release the START/STOP ignition
button.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off if the
Remote Start button on the key fob is pushed again, or
if the engine is allowed to run for the entire 15 minute
cycle. Once the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN posi-
tion, the climate controls will resume previously set
operations (temperature, blower control, etc.).

To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will
disable for two seconds after receiving a valid
Remote Start request.
•
For vehicles equipped with the Keyless Enter 'n Go™
— Passive Entry feature, the message "Remote Start
Active — Push Start Button" will display in the instru-
ment cluster display until you push the START/STOP
ignition button.
