GETTING STARTED WARNING! • Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be severely injured or killed. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do not leave the Key Fob inside the vehicle or in the ignition. A child could start the vehicle, operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle. • Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may cause them to be severely injured or killed. REMOTE START • Press the REMOTE START button 2 on the Key Fob twice within five seconds. Pressing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off. x • In order to allow proper engine pre-heating (diesel engine only), depending on engine temperature, there may be a delay of up to 30 seconds before the engine starts. • To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the Key Fob in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position. • With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition Key Fob is placed in the ON/RUN position. • The vehicle must be started with the Key Fob after two consecutive timeouts. WARNING! • Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled. • Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be severely injured or killed. THEFT ALARM To Arm • Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is open. To Disarm • Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position. 11
