After your vehicle's engine has been started two times using the remote vehicle start button, the vehicle's ignition switch must be turned to ON/RUN and then back to LOCK/OFF using the key before the remote start procedure can be used again. See Ignition Positions on page 2-21 for information regarding the ignition positions on your vehicle. If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the RKE transmitter functions will have an increased range of operation. However, the range may be less while the vehicle is running. There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter, see Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 2-3 for additional information. / (Remote Start): This button will be on the RKE transmitter if you have remote start. To start the vehicle using the remote start feature, do the following: 1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle. 2. Press and release the transmitter's lock button, then immediately press and hold the transmitter's remote start button until the vehicle's turn signal lamps flash. When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn on and remain on while the engine is running. 3. If it is the first remote start since the vehicle has been driven, repeat these steps, while the engine is running, to extend the time by 10 minutes for the engine to continue to run. After entering the vehicle after a remote start, insert and turn the key to ON/RUN to drive the vehicle. The engine will shut off automatically after 10 minutes, unless a time extension has been done or the vehicle's key is inserted into the ignition switch and turned to ON/RUN. 2-7
