REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a remote starting
system, which will allow the vehicle to be started from
distances up to approximately 300 feet away from the
vehicle using the remote keyless entry key fob which is
part of your ignition key.

In order to remote start your vehicle, the hood, and all the
doors must be closed.

To remote start your vehicle, press the REMOTE START
button on the key fob twice within three seconds. To

indicate that the vehicle is about to start, the parking
lights will flash and the horn will sound briefly.

Once the vehicle has started, the engine will run for 15
minutes. To cancel remote start, press the REMOTE
START button once.
