If you shut off the engine and leave the ignition in the on or accessory
mode, the ignition will shut off after 30 minutes.
Remote start (if equipped)
The remote start feature 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.
Vehicles with automatic climate control can be configured to operate
when the vehicle is started. Refer to Remote start climate options in
the Climate Controls chapter for more information and also refer to
Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter to learn how to
enable different climate options. A manual climate control system will
run at the setting it was set to when the vehicle was last turned off.
