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 lock button and then hold the remote start button on the keyless access transmitter again for at least three seconds 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 is initiated 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 2-27 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 3-66. 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. If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the keyless access transmitter functions will have an increased range of operation. However, the range may be less while the vehicle is running. There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter, see Keyless Access System on page 2-4. 2-12
