locked.
2. Within five seconds, press and

until the turn signal
lamps flash. This confirms
the request to remote start
the vehicle has been received.
Once the vehicle is started, the
parking lamps will turn on and
remain on as long as the engine
is running.
3. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN
(Key Access), or select the
ON/RUN/START ignition position
(Keyless Access), to drive the
vehicle.
The engine will shut off after
10 minutes unless a time
extension is done or the ignition
is put in ON/RUN (Key Access)
or ON/RUN/START (Keyless

Vehicles with an automatic climate
control system will default to a
heating or cooling mode depending
on the outside temperature during a
remote start. When the key is turned
to ON/RUN (Key Access), or the
ON/RUN/START ignition position
is selected (Keyless Access), the
climate control system will turn on
at the setting the vehicle was set to
when the vehicle was last turned off.
