& Starting your vehicle

The remote control start system is acti-

vated by pressing the “

” button twice

within 3 seconds on your remote control

transmitter. The system will check certain

pre-conditions before starting, and if all

safety parameters are correct, the engine

will start within 5 seconds. While the

vehicle is operating via remote engine

start, the vehicle’s power window features

will be disabled. Also, the system has a

timer and will shut down after 15 minutes if

you do not operate the vehicle. Press and

hold the “

” button for 2 seconds again to

turn the vehicle off. If the vehicle’s starter

cranks but does not start or starts and

stalls, the remote engine start system will

power off then attempt to start the vehicle

an additional four times. If the vehicle fails

to start after the additional attempts, the

remote engine start system will abort and

return to a non activated state.

& Remote start safety features

For safety and security reasons, the

system will fail to start and beep the horn

twice or shut down the engine during

remote start operation if any of the

following occur:

. The brake pedal is pressed before the

vehicle ignition switch is turned “on”

. The key was already in the ignition

switch

. The engine hood is opened

. The vehicle’s engine idle speed has

reached a level over 3,000 RPM

. The alarm is triggered by opening a

door or the rear gate.

NOTE

. The security indicator light on the

dashboard will stop flashing while

under remote engine start operation,

but the vehicle is still protected.

. If the vehicle is entered during

remote engine start operation, the

system will not record entry in the

alarm history.

& Entering the vehicle while it

is running via remote start

1. Unlock the vehicle doors using the

keyless entry system . If the vehicle’s

doors are unlocked manually using the

key, the vehicle’s alarm system will trigger

turn off. Inserting the key into the ignition

switch and turning it to the “ON” position or

pressing the unlock button “

” on the

remote keyless entry transmitter will dis-

arm the alarm system. Refer to the “Alarm

system” section in chapter 2.

brake pedal.

3. Insert the key into the ignition switch

and turn to the “ON” position. If the ignition

switch is accidentally turned to the

“START” position, the system’s “starter

anti-grind” feature will prevent the starter

from re-cranking.

starter disengages, the vehicle’s power

window features are re-enabled and the
