REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
— IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) transmitter to
start the engine conveniently from
outside the vehicle while still main-
taining security. The system has a
range of approximately 300 ft (91 m).
NOTE:
• The vehicle must be equipped with an
automatic transmission to be equipped
with Remote Start.
• Obstructions between the vehicle and the
Key Fob may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote Start
All of the following conditions must be met
before the engine will remote start:
• Gear selector in PARK
• Doors closed
• Hood closed
• Hazard switch off
• Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pushed)
• Battery at an acceptable charge level
• System not disabled from previous remote
start event
• Vehicle security alarm not active
• Ignition in Off position (Keyless Enter-N-Go)
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas con-
tains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide
is poisonous and can cause serious injury
or death when inhaled.
• Keep Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitters away from children. Operation of
the Remote Start System, windows, door
locks or other controls could cause serious
injury or death.

strument cluster if the vehicle fails to remote
start or exits remote start prematurely:
