Remote Start

Activation

NOTE: All vehicle doors, hood, trunk or rear gate must be closed prior to activating the remote engine start
system. Any open entry point will prevent starting or cause the system to shut down.

Upon successful activation, the remote start fob will fl ash and beep once**, the horn will honk once and the side
marker lights, tail lights and parking lights will fl ash once. The system will check certain safety preconditions before
starting and if all conditions are met, the engine will start within fi ve (5) seconds. After the engine starts, the remote
start fob will fl ash and beep twice**, the horn will honk once and the side marker lights, tail lights and parking lights
will fl ash once. While the engine is idling via the remote engine start system, the remote start fob will continue to fl ash
once every three (3) seconds, the side marker lights, tail lights and parking lights will remain illuminated and the power
window switches will be disabled. The engine will continue to run for fi fteen (15) minutes (or optional pre-selected run
time) unless one of the safety parameters below is triggered. The system also has a timer that will allow the system
to operate for a maximum of twenty (20) minutes (under multiple remote start activations). Using the ignition key (or
push button if equipped) to turn on the ignition resets the twenty (20) minute timer.

If the engine turns over but does not start (or starts and stalls) the remote engine start system will power off and then
attempt to start the engine three (3) additional times. The system will not attempt to restart the engine if it determines
a vehicle malfunction is preventing it from starting. If the engine does not start after the three (3) additional attempts,
the remote engine start request will be aborted.

Remote Start Safety Parameters

For safety and security reasons, the system will fail to start or shut down the engine during remote start operation if
any of the following occur:

• The remote start system has operated for twenty (20) minutes between ignition key cycles
The horn will honk three (3) times and the parking lights will fl ash three (3) times

• Any of the vehicle’s doors, trunk or rear gate are open / opened
The horn will honk six (6) times and the parking lights will fl ash six (6) times

• The vehicle’s hood is open
The horn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will fl ash two (2) times

• The ignition key is resting in the ignition cylinder (mechanical ignition key start vehicles only)
The horn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will fl ash two (2) times

• The transmission shifter is not in the “park” position
The horn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will fl ash two (2) times

• The vehicle’s brake pedal is depressed before the vehicle ignition switch is turned “on”
The horn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will fl ash two (2) times

• A remote start cycle is attempted within eight (8) seconds of either cycling the ignition off or opening and closing
a vehicle door (push button start vehicles only).

The remote start process will abort immediately and the remote start fob will beep three (3) times

• The vehicle’s engine idle speed has reached a level over 3,500 RPM (this will cause the vehicle to shutdown)

• The vehicle’s security system is triggered by opening the door or rear gate (if the security system is armed at the
time of remote start activation)

In addition to the items above, if the vehicle’s engine management system determines there is a safety risk due to a
vehicle related problem, the vehicle will shut down and the vehicle’s horn will honk three (3) times.

WARNING: TO AVOID DANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE, NEVER REMOTE START A VEHICLE IN A CLOSED
SPACE SUCH AS A CLOSED GARAGE.

NOTE: Laws in some communities require that the vehicle be within view of anyone using the Remote Engine
Starter. In some areas, use of the Remote Engine Starter may violate state, provincial or local laws. Before
using the Remote Engine Starter, check your state, provincial and local laws.

Entering the Vehicle While it is Running via Remote Start

1. Unlock the vehicle doors using the remote keyless entry system. If the vehicle’s doors are unlocked manually
using the key, the vehicle’s security system will trigger (if the security system is armed prior to activating the
remote start system) and the vehicle’s engine will turn off. Inserting the ignition key into the ignition cylinder and
turning it to the “on” position or pressing the unlock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter will disarm the
security system.

2. Enter the vehicle.

3. The engine will shut down upon opening any vehicle door, trunk, hatch or rear gate of 5-door / wagon vehicles.

4. Insert the key into the ignition and turn to the start position to re-start the engine.

Remote Start Confi rmation Feature

Your remote start transmitter is equipped with a unique bidirectional confi rmation feature. This feature will allow
the transmitter’s backlit button to display system status provided the vehicle and transmitter fall within the system’s
operating range. Typical transmitter button fl ash sequences are outlined below.

Selectable Run-Time

The system is preprogrammed to run for fi fteen (15) minutes before automatically stopping. The programmed run
period can be changed to alternate times using the following procedure.

1. Enter the vehicle and close all vehicle doors, trunk or rear gate.

2. Verify that the transmission shifter is in the “park” position.

3. Turn the ignition to the “on” then “off”, “on” then “off”, “on” then “off”, then
