Features and Controls 3. If it is the first remote start since the vehicle has been driven, repeat these steps while the engine is still running, to extend the time by 10 minutes for the engine to continue to run. Remote start can be extended one time. After entering the vehicle during a remote start, insert and turn the key to the ON/RUN position to drive the vehicle. If the vehicle is left running it automatically shuts off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been done. To manually shut off a remote start: The vehicle can be started using the remote start feature two separate times between driving sequences. The engine runs for 10 minutes after each remote start. Or, the engine run time can be extended another 10 minutes within the first 10 minute remote start time frame, and before the engine stops. For example, if Q and then / are pressed again after the vehicle has been running for five minutes, 10 minutes are added, allowing the engine to run for 15 minutes. The additional 10 minutes are considered a second remote start. The vehicle must be started with the key once two remote starts, or a single remote start with one time extension has been done. The vehicle can be started using the remote start feature again after the key is removed from the ignition. 2-7 The vehicle cannot be started using the remote start feature if the key is in the ignition, the hood is open, or if there is an emission control system malfunction. The engine turns off during a remote start if the coolant temperature gets too high or if the oil pressure gets low. 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 if the vehicle has DIC buttons. See "REMOTE START" under DIC Vehicle Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 3-65 for additional information. If the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, see your dealer/retailer to enable or disable the remote start system. • Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle and press / until the parking lamps turn off. • Turn on the hazard warning flashers. • Turn the ignition switch on and then off.
