FEATURES AND CONTROLS The remote vehicle start feature will not operate if: • The vehicle's key is in the ignition. • The vehicle's hood, liftgate or doors are not closed. • The hazard warning flashers are on. • There is an emission control system malfunction. • The engine coolant temperature is too high. • The oil pressure is low. • Two remote vehicle starts have already been used. The maximum number of remote starts or remote start attempts between ignition cycles with the key is two. Vehicles that have the remote vehicle start feature are shipped from the factory with the remote vehicle start system enabled. The system may be enabled or disabled through the DIC. Refer to "REMOTE START" under "DIC Vehicle Personalization" in "Driver Information Center (DIC)" in the "Instrument Panel" section for additional information. Doors and Locks Door Locks WARNING Unlocked doors can be dangerous. • Passengers, especially children, can easily open the doors and fall out of a moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the handle will not open it. You increase the chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if the doors are not locked. So, wear safety belts properly and lock the doors whenever you drive. • Young children who get into unlocked vehicles may be unable to get out. A child can be overcome by extreme heat and can suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle whenever you leave it. • Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you slow down or stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can help prevent this from happening. There are a couple of ways to manually lock or unlock your vehicle. From the outside, use the key in the driver's door. From the inside, use the lock control on the door. Power Door Locks The power door lock switches are located on the driver's and front passenger's doors. (Unlock): To unlock the doors, press the unlock symbol. (Lock): Remove the ignition key and press the lock symbol to lock all of the doors. 2-5
