If you enter the vehicle after a remote start, and the engine is still running, insert the key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn it to the RUN position to drive the vehicle. Your vehicle's engine can be started two times using the transmitter's remote start feature. If only one remote start procedure has been done, since last driving the vehicle or resetting the remote start system, the engine may be started again remotely following the remote start procedure a second time. If the remote start procedure is used again before the first ten minute time frame has ended, 10 minutes will be added to the remaining minutes. The added 10 minutes are considered a second remote start. The remote vehicle start feature will not operate if: 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 provided. The maximum number of remote starts or remote start attempts between ignition cycles with the key is two. If a remote start is attempted and is unsuccessful, the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display REMOTE START DISABLED. Vehicles equipped with the remote vehicle start feature are shipped from the factory with the remote vehicle start system enabled. The system may be disabled through the DIC.
