Remote Vehicle Start

The vehicle may have this feature
that allows you to start the engine
from outside the vehicle.
(Remote Vehicle Start):
This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if the vehicle has
remote start.
Vehicles with an automatic climate
control system will default to a
heating or cooling mode depending
on the outside temperature during a
remote start. A vehicle without
automatic climate control will default
to the last used heating or cooling
mode. Once the key is turned to
ON/RUN, the climate control system
will turn on at the setting the vehicle
was last set to. If the vehicle has
heated seats, they may come on
during a remote start. See Heated
Front Seats on page 2‑9.
Laws in some local communities
may restrict the use of remote
starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote start
Keys, Doors, and Windows
to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any
requirements.
Other conditions can affect the
performance of the transmitter.
