Locks and Security Note: If the vehicle has been remote started and is equipped with an IKT, you must turn the ignition on before driving the vehicle. If equipped with an IA transmitter, you must press the START/STOP button on the instrument panel once while applying the brake pedal before driving the vehicle. The power windows will be inhibited during the remote start and the radio will not turn on automatically. The parking lamps will remain on and the engine will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes, depending on how you programmed the system. To select the duration of the remote start system refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Extending the engine run time To keep the engine running for another remote start duration, repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the engine still running. If you programmed the duration to last 10 minutes, the second 10 minutes will begin immediately so that, for example, if the vehicle had been running from the first remote start for five minutes, the engine will continue to run for a total of 15 minutes. You can only extend the remote start once. If the vehicle is remote started then remote stopped, wait at least five seconds before remote starting a second time. The ignition must be turned on and then back off or allow one hour to pass before using remote start again if additional remote starts are desired. Turning the engine off after using remote start • Press one time. The parking lamps will turn off. You may have to be closer to the vehicle than when starting due to ground reflection and the added noise of the running engine. You can disable or enable the remote start system through the message center. Refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter. 144 2012 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
