3. To extend the engine run time by 10 minutes, repeat Steps 1 and 2 while the engine is still running. The engine run time can only be extended if it is the first remote start since the vehicle has been driven. Remote start can be extended one time. If the remote start procedure is used again before the first 10 minute time frame has ended, the first 10 minutes will immediately expire and the second 10 minute time frame will start. For example, if the lock button and then the remote start buttons are pressed again after the vehicle has been running for five minutes, 10 minutes are added, allowing the engine to run for 15 minutes. 4. After entering the vehicle during a remote start, insert and turn the key to ON/RUN to drive the vehicle. After a remote start, the engine will automatically shut off 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. A maximum of two remote starts or remote start attempts are allowed between ignition cycles. After your vehicle's engine has been started two times using the remote 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. To manually shut off the engine after a remote start, do any of the following: • Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle and press the remote start button until the parking lamps turn off. • Turn on the hazard warning flashers. • Insert the vehicle's key into the ignition switch and turn the switch to ON/RUN and then back to LOCK/OFF. 2-8
