Remote Start

(If Equipped)

WARNING

To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use
remote start if your vehicle is parked
indoors or areas that are not well

ventilated.

Note: Do not use remote start if your vehicle
is low on fuel.

E138625

The remote start button is on the
transmitter.

This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle. The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.

Vehicles with automatic climate control
can be configured to operate when the
vehicle is remote started. See Climate
Control (page 108). A manual climate
control system will run at the setting it was
set to when you switched the vehicle off.

Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
remote start systems.

The remote start system will not work if:

•

the ignition is on

•

the alarm system triggered

•

you disable the feature

•

the hood is open

•

the transmission is not in P

•

the vehicle battery voltage is too low

•

the service engine soon light is on.

An LED on the remote control provides
status feedback of remote start or stop
commands.

Keys and Remote Controls

E138626

The tag with your transmitter details the
starting procedure.

To remote start your vehicle:

1.

Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.

2. Press the remote start button twice.

The exterior lamps will flash twice.

The horn will sound if the system fails to
start, unless quiet start is on. Quiet start
will run the blower fan at a slower speed
to reduce noise. It can be switched on or
off in the information display. See General
Information (page 85).

Note: If the vehicle has been remote started
with an integrated keyhead transmitter, you
must switch the ignition on before driving
your vehicle. With an intelligent access
transmitter, you must press the
START/STOP button on the instrument
panel once while applying the brake pedal
before driving your vehicle.

The power windows will not work during
the remote start and the radio will not turn
on automatically.

The parking lamps will remain on and the
vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.

Extending the Vehicle Run Time

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still
running to extend the run time for another
remote start duration. If you programmed
the duration to last 10 minutes, the second
10 minutes will begin after what is left of
the first activation time. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the vehicle
will continue to run now for a total of 15
minutes. You can extend the remote start
up to a maximum of 35 minutes.

Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after a vehicle shutdown.

Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting

E138625

Press the button once. The
parking lamps will turn off.

You may have to be closer to the

vehicle than when starting due to ground
reflection and the added noise of the
running vehicle.

You can disable or enable the remote start
system through the information display.
See General Information (page 85).

REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL

To re-program the passive anti-theft
system see an authorized dealer.

Keys and Remote Controls

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. All but one of the keys
programmed to the vehicle can be
activated with these restricted modes.

Any keys that have not been programmed
are referred to as administrator keys or
admin keys. These can be used to:

•

create a MyKey

•

program configurable MyKey settings

•

clear all MyKey features.

When you have programmed a MyKey, you
can access the following information using
the information display:

•

How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.

•

The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using a MyKey.

Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.

Note: For vehicles with intelligent access
with push-button start, when both a MyKey
and an admin intelligent access key fob are
present, the admin fob will be recognized
by the vehicle while switching the ignition
on to start the vehicle.

Non-configurable Settings

The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:

•

Belt-Minder. You cannot disable this
feature. The audio system will mute
when the front seat occupants’ safety
belts are not fastened.

•

Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning
activates earlier, giving the MyKey user
more time to refuel.

•

Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid,
blind spot information system (BLIS)
with cross traffic alert, lane departure
warning and forward collision warning
system.

Configurable Settings

With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle the
key or restart the vehicle. You can also
change the settings afterward with an
admin key.

•

A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal or by
setting cruise control.

•

Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or 65
mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h). Once you
select a speed, it will be shown in the
display, followed by an audible tone
when the preselected vehicle speed is
exceeded.

•

Audio system maximum volume of
45%. A message will be shown in the
display when you attempt to exceed
the limited volume. Also, the
speed-sensitive or compensated
automatic volume control will be
disabled.

•

Always on setting. When this is
selected, you will not be able to turn
off Advance Trac (if your vehicle is
equipped with this feature).
