TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote Start sys-
tem, either push and release the unlock button on the
key fob to unlock the doors, or unlock the vehicle using
Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry via the door
handles, and disarm the Vehicle Security system
(if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 15 minute
cycle, push and release the START/STOP ignition
button.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off with
another push and release of the Remote Start button
on the key fob, or if the engine is allowed to run for the
entire 15 minute cycle. Once the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position, the climate controls will resume
previously set operations (temperature, blower control,
etc.).

•
For vehicles equipped with the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™
— Passive Entry feature, the message “Remote Start
Active — Push Start Button” will show in the instru-
ment cluster display until you push the START/STOP
ignition button.
•
To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will
disable for two seconds after receiving a valid
Remote Start request.
