Remote Vehicle Start Your vehicle may have a remote starting feature. This feature allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle. It may also start the vehicle's heating or air conditioning systems and rear window defogger. When the remote start system is active and the vehicle has an automatic climate control system, it will automatically regulate the inside temperature. Normal operation of the system will return after the ignition key is turned to ON/RUN. Laws in some 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. 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 per ignition cycle, each with 10 minutes of engine running time. The remote start feature needs to be reset after your vehicle's engine is started two times using the transmitter's remote start button. To reset the remote start feature, insert the vehicle's key into the ignition switch and turn it to ON/RUN. See Ignition Positions on page 2-22 for information regarding the ignition positions on your vehicle. 2-7 To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter: 1.
