three seconds. A tone sounds
and the direction indicators

to locate your vehicle, rather than using
the panic alarm.

Sounding the Panic Alarm

E138624

Press the button to sound the
panic alarm. Press the button
again or switch the ignition on to

turn it off.

Remote Start

(If Equipped)

WARNING

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

ventilated.

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

E138625

The remote start button is on the
transmitter.

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

You can configure vehicles with automatic
climate control to turn on the automatic
climate control when you remote start your
vehicle. See Automatic Climate Control
(page 150). A manual climate control
system runs at the setting you set it to
when you switched your vehicle off.

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

The remote start system does not work if
any of the following occur:
•

The ignition is on.

•

The anti-theft alarm triggers.

•

You switch off the feature.

•

The hood is open.

•

The transmission is not in park (P).

•

The battery voltage is below the
minimum operating voltage.

•

The service engine soon light is on.

Remote Starting Your Vehicle

Note: You must press each button within
three seconds of each other.

E138626

The label on your transmitter details the
starting procedure.

To remote start your vehicle:

1.

Press the lock button.

2. Press the remote start button twice.

The exterior lamps flash twice.

The horn sounds if the system fails to start,
unless quiet start is on. Quiet start runs
the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce
noise. You can switch it on or off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 114).

Note: If you do not follow this sequence,
your vehicle does not start remotely, the
direction indicators do not flash twice and
the horn does not sound.

Note: If you remote start your vehicle with
an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must
switch on the ignition before driving your
vehicle. If you remote start your vehicle with
an intelligent access transmitter, you must
press the push button ignition switch on the
instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving your vehicle.

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

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

Extending the Engine Running Time

To extend the engine running time duration
of your vehicle during remote start, repeat
steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running.
If the duration is set to 10 minutes, the
duration extends by another 10 minutes.
For example, if your vehicle had been
running from the first remote start for 5
minutes, your vehicle continues to run now
for a total of 20 minutes. You can extend
the remote start up to a maximum of 35
minutes.

Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after the engine stops running.

Turning Your Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting

E138625

Press the button once. The
parking lamps 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 turn the remote start system on
or off using the information display. See
General Information (page 114).
