THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 27 unlocked, you have 60 seconds to enter the vehicle, insert the key in the Ignition and move it to the RUN position, otherwise the engine will cancel remote start and automatically turn off. Remote start will also cancel if any of the following occur: • If the engine stalls or RPM exceeds 2500 • Any engine warning lamps come on • The hood is opened • The hazard switch is pressed • The transmission is moved out of park • The brake pedal is pressed. The vehicle can be started remotely up to a maximum of two times. The vehicle is also allowed a maximum of one failed start, where the remote start sequence was initiated but cancelled before the engine begins to crank. After either of these conditions, or if the Vehicle Theft Alarm is alarming, or if the PANIC button was pressed, the vehicle must be reset by inserting a valid key into the ignition and moving it to the RUN position, then back to LOCK. The parking lamps will remain illuminated to indicate that the vehicle has remote started and the engine is running. The lamps will turn off when the ignition is turned to RUN or the remote start is cancelled. DOOR LOCKS Manual Door Locks All the doors can be "manually" locked from the inside by pushing down the door lock plunger, located on the door trim panel.
