Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of remote starters, for example, requiring 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. Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel. The remote start feature provides two separate starts, each with 10 minutes of engine running. If you press the remote start button on the keyless access transmitter again before the first 10 minutes of engine running time has expired, 10 minutes is added to the remaining minutes. For example, if the remote start button is pressed again after five minutes of the engine run time, 10 minutes is added and you now have 15 minutes with the engine running. Once two remote starts or 20 minutes of the engine running have been provided, the vehicle must be started using the keyless access with pushbutton start feature, if the engine needs to be restarted. See Starting the Engine on page 2-25 for more information regarding the keyless ignition. The remote start feature will not operate if any of the following occur: • The check engine light is displayed. See "Check Engine Light" under Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 3-67. The valet lockout switch is on. The keyless access transmitter is in the vehicle. The vehicle's hood is open. The vehicle personalization feature is not enabled. An unauthorized vehicle entry or a vehicle theft was attempted. Your keyless access transmitter, with the remote start button, provides an increased range of operation. However, the range may be less while the vehicle is running. As a result, you may need to be closer to your vehicle to turn it off than you were to turn it on. There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter, see Keyless Access System on page 2-4. 2-11
