NOTE:
•
The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic
transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.
•
Obstructions between the vehicle and the key fob
may reduce this range.
•
The Remote Start system will wait for the Wait To
Start yellow telltale to extinguish before cranking the
engine page 112. This allows time for the
engine preheat cycle to heat the cylinder air, and is
normal in cold weather.
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

Remote Start system, windows, door locks or other
controls could cause serious injury or death.

Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
