To remote start your vehicle, ensure that the system is NOT in Valet Mode (If the

If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut OFF, wait a few
seconds, and try to start the engine again. It will try to start the engine the amount
of programmed times (2, 3, or 4) before giving up.

to the ignition ON position (Do not
