Remote Vehicle Start
This vehicle may have a remote
starting feature that allows you to
start the engine from outside the
vehicle.
/ (Remote Vehicle Start):
This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if you have remote start.
The automatic climate control will
begin to heat or cool your vehicle
during remote start depending on
the temperature inside and outside
of the vehicle. The windshield
defroster and/or rear window
defogger turn on if it is cold outside.
If the vehicle has heated seats,
they may also be turned on during
remote start to warm up the seats
in cold weather. Normal operation
of the climate control system
returns after the ignition is turned to
ON/RUN. See Dual Automatic
Climate Control System on
page 8‑1.
Laws in some local communities
may restrict the use of remote
starters. For example, some laws
may require a person using remote
start to have the vehicle in view
when doing so. Check local
regulations for any requirements
on remote starting of vehicles.
If your vehicle is low on fuel,
do not use the remote start feature.
The vehicle may run out of fuel.
If your vehicle has the remote start
feature, the RKE transmitter
functions will have an increased
range of operation. However, the
range may be less while the vehicle
is running.
Other conditions can affect the
performance of the transmitter;
see Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System on page 2‑5 for additional
information.
