Remote engine start system

(dealer option)

WARNING

. Do not start the engine using the

remote start system in an en-

closed environment (e.g., in a

closed garage). Prolonged opera-

tion of a motor vehicle in an

enclosed environment can cause

a harmful build-up of Carbon

Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide is

harmful to your health. Exposure

to high levels of Carbon Monox-

ide can cause headaches, dizzi-

ness or in extreme cases uncon-

sciousness and/or death.

. Before performing any servicing

of the vehicle, temporarily place

the remote engine start system in

service mode to prevent the

system from unexpectedly start-

ing the engine.

& Starting your vehicle

The remote engine start system is acti-

vated by pressing the “

” button twice

within 3 seconds on your remote engine

start 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.
