Locks and Security The remote start system will not work if: • The ignition is in the on position. • The alarm system is triggered. • The feature has been disabled. • The hood is not closed. • Two remote vehicle starts have already been attempted within the last hour. • The vehicle is not in P (Park). Starting the engine with remote start To start the engine using remote start: Note: Each button press must be done within 3 seconds of each other. If this sequence is not followed the vehicle will not remote start and the horn will not chirp. 1. Press on the IKT to lock all the doors. 2. Press two times. The exterior lamps will flash twice. If for some reason, the system fails to start, the horn will chirp twice. 3. Insert the key in the ignition and turn to the on position before driving. The power windows will be inhibited during the remote start and the radio will not turn on. The parking lamps will remain on and the engine will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes, depending on how you programmed the system. To select the duration of the remote start system refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Extending the engine run time To keep the engine running for another remote start duration, repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the engine still running. If you programmed the duration to last 10 minutes, the second 10 minutes will begin immediately so that, for example, if the vehicle had been running from the first remote start for five minutes, the engine will continue to run for a total of 15 minutes. You can only extend the remote start once. If the vehicle is remote started then remote stopped, wait at least five seconds before remote starting a second time. The ignition switch must be turned to the on position and then back to the off position or allow one hour to pass before using remote start again. 155 2011 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
