Remote Vehicle Start This feature allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle. Before the remote vehicle start system can be operated, it must be turned on through the vehicle personalization system. You can also program the remote vehicle start system to start up the vehicle's automatic climate control system. If this feature is turned on, the system monitors the outside temperature and turns on the rear window defogger, front window defogger, and heated or ventilated seats, if your vehicle has them. See "Personal Settings Menu" under Vehicle Personalization on page 2-61. 3.
