(Continued)
NOTE:
 For information on normal starting, see
Ú page 86.
 When opening the driver's door and the igni-
tion is in the ON/RUN (engine not running)
position, a chime will sound to remind you to
place the ignition in the OFF position. In addi-
tion to the chime, the Vehicle On message
will display in the cluster.
REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the key fob to start
the engine conveniently from outside
the vehicle while still maintaining
security. The system has a range of
approximately 328 ft (100 m).
Remote start is used to defrost windows in cold
weather and to reach a comfortable climate in
all ambient conditions before the customer
enters the vehicle.
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob
may reduce this range Ú page 360.
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push and release the Remote Start button on
the key fob twice within five seconds. The
vehicle doors will lock, the parking lights will
flash, and the horn will chirp twice (if
programmed). Then, the engine will start, and
the vehicle will remain in the Remote Start
mode for a 15 minute cycle. Pushing the remote
start button a third time shuts the engine off.
To drive the vehicle, push the unlock button and
place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
 With Remote Start, the engine will only run
for 15 minutes.
 Remote Start can only be used twice.
 If an engine fault is present or fuel level is
low, the vehicle will start and then shut down
in 10 seconds.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the ON/RUN mode. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
 Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for
thieves. Always remove key fob from the vehi-
cle and lock all doors when leaving the vehi-
cle unattended.

WARNING!
 Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas

odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous and can cause serious injury or
death when inhaled.
 Keep key fobs away from children. Opera-
tion of the Remote Start System, windows,
door locks or other controls could cause
serious injury or death.
