The remote start system will not work if:

• the feature has been disabled
• the hood is not closed
• two remote vehicle starts have already been attempted within the last

Remote Starting the Vehicle

Note: Each button press must be done within three seconds of each
other. The vehicle will not remote start if this sequence is not followed
and the horn will not chirp.

The label on your transmitter
details the starting procedure. To
remote start the 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 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 Message center in the
Instrument Cluster chapter.

Note: If the vehicle has been remote started you must press the
START/STOP button on the instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving the vehicle.
