The remote start operating range is approximately 200 feet from the vehicle. For remote start to function, the car must be in park with the ignition off, and all doors must be closed and locked. It’s important to note that laws in some communities and states may restrict or forbid the use of remote starters or require a person using remote start to have the vehicle in view. Therefore, it’s crucial to check local regulations for any requirements to start the vehicle remotely.
To start the vehicle remotely, follow these steps:
- Press the lock button on the key fob twice.
- Within five seconds, press and hold the engine start button for at least two seconds.
After following these steps, the engine will start, the parking lights will turn on, and the automatic heater and air conditioning system may begin heating or cooling the vehicle depending on the outside temperature. The engine will run for 10 minutes and then turn off. If you need to extend the time for an additional 10-minute period, press the lock button on the key fob and then press and hold the engine start button for at least two seconds.
It’s important to note that run time will be calculated as follows: the first 10-minute run time will start when the remote start function is performed, and the 10-minute extension will start immediately after the remote start function is performed a second time. For example, if the engine has been running for 5 minutes and you extend the remote engine start, the engine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
If you need to cancel the remote engine start at any time, you can simply press and release the engine start button on the key fob. After two remote starts, the ignition switch must be cycled from on to off, and the vehicle must be driven at seven miles per hour before remote start can be used again. When you are ready to start driving after using remote start, apply the brake pedal and press the ignition switch.
It’s crucial to consult your owner’s manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional operating and feature information regarding remote start.
