The horn will chirp 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. Refer to the Information Displays chapter.
Note: If the vehicle has been remote started and is equipped with an
integrated keyhead transmitter, you must turn the ignition on before
driving the vehicle. If equipped with an intelligent access transmitter, you
must press the START/STOP button on the instrument panel once while
applying the brake pedal before driving the vehicle.
The power windows will be inhibited during the remote start and the
radio will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the engine will run for 5, 10, or
15 minutes, depending on the setting. Refer to the Information
Displays chapter to select the duration of the remote start system.
Extending the Engine Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the engine 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 engine will continue to run now for a
total of 15 minutes. You can only extend the remote start once.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after an engine
shutdown. Only two remote starts are allowed.
The ignition must be turned on and then back off or allow one hour to pass
before using remote start again if additional remote starts are desired.
Turning the Engine Off After Remote Starting
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 engine.
You can disable or enable the remote start system through the
information display. Refer to the Information Display chapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement or additional keys or remote controls can be purchased
from your authorized dealer. Your dealer can program the transmitters to
your vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. Refer to the
Security chapter for information on programming your transmitters.
