Remote Vehicle Start Your vehicle may have a remote start feature. This feature allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle. It may also start the vehicle's heating or air conditioning systems. When you start your vehicle using the remote start feature, the climate control system will come on and adjust the interior to the temperature settings that you left it set to when you turned the vehicle off. Laws in some communities may restrict the use of remote starters. For example, some laws may require a person using remote start to have the vehicle in view when doing so. Check local regulations for any requirements on remote starting of vehicles. Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel. The remote start feature provides two separate starts per ignition cycle, each with 10 minutes of engine running time. The remote start feature needs to be reset after your vehicle's engine is started two times using the transmitter's remote start button. The remote start system is reset by inserting the vehicle's key into the ignition switch and turning to RUN. See Ignition Positions on page 107 for information regarding the ignition positions on your vehicle. You can start your vehicle's engine from about 197 feet (60 m) away. However, the range may be less while the vehicle is running, and as a result you may need to be closer to your vehicle to turn it off than you were to turn it on. There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter, see Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 86 for additional information. 91
