Remote Vehicle Start - Chevrolet Uplander Owner's Manual

Remote Vehicle Start

This feature allows you to start the engine from outside
the vehicle.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may require
a person using remote start to have the vehicle in view
when doing so. Check local regulations for any
requirements on remote starting of vehicles.
/
(Remote Vehicle Start): If your vehicle has the
remote vehicle start feature, the remote keyless entry
transmitter will have a button with this symbol on it.
An increased range of operation is provided with
the remote keyless entry transmitter that has the remote
vehicle start button. The vehicle can be started from
approximately 180 feet (60 m) away. However, the
operating range may be less while the engine is running
and you will need to be closer to your vehicle to turn
it off than you were to turn it on.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is low
on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
To start the engine using the remote start feature,
do the following:
1. Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter, equipped
with the remote vehicle start button, at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter's lock button, then
immediately press and hold the remote vehicle start
button until the vehicle's turn signal lamps flash,
or for at least two seconds, if the vehicle's lights are
not visible. The vehicle's doors will be locked.
3. When the vehicle's engine starts, the parking lamps
will turn on and remain on while the engine is
running.
After a remote start, the engine will automatically shut
off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has
been done or the vehicle's key is inserted into the
ignition switch and turned to RUN.
The maximum number of remote starts or remote start
attempts between ignition cycles with the key is two.
