Remote Vehicle Start
If available, this feature allows you
to start the engine from outside the
vehicle.
/ (Remote Vehicle Start): This
button will be on the RKE
transmitter if the vehicle has
remote start.
Vehicles with an automatic climate
control system will automatically
change to a heating or cooling
mode depending on the outside
temperature during a remote start.
When the ON/RUN/START ignition
mode is selected, the climate
control system will return to its
setting from when the vehicle was
last turned off.
Laws in some local communities
may restrict the use of remote
starters. For example, some laws
may require a person using remote
start to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any
requirements.
There are other conditions which
can affect the performance of the
transmitter. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2‑3 for
