Remote start (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with the remote start feature which allows
you to start the engine from outside the vehicle. If your transmitter has
a

icon, you have remote start. The remote start feature has an

extended operating range which allows you to remote start your vehicle
from a farther distance from your vehicle. All the buttons have this
increased range performance capability when equipped with remote start.

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.

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

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

The remote start system will not work if:
• The ignition is in the on position.
• The alarm system is triggered.
• The feature has been disabled.
• The hood is not closed.
• Two remote vehicle starts have already been attempted within the last

hour.

• The vehicle is not in P (Park).
