REMOTE START QUICK REFERENCE*
LONG RANGE ACTIVATION - ALL MODELS
Remote Start Activation
Press
Two (2) Times
Within Three (3) Seconds
Remote Start Shutdown
Press and Hold
For
Three (3) Seconds
NOTE: All vehicle doors, hood, trunk or rear gate must be closed prior to activating the remote engine start
system. Any open entry point will prevent starting or cause the system to shut down.
Upon successful activation, the remote start fob will fl ash and beep one (1) time**, the horn will honk one (1) time
and the side marker lights, tail lights and parking lights will fl ash one (1) time. The system will check certain safety
preconditions before starting and if all conditions are met, the engine will start within fi ve (5) seconds. After the
engine starts, the remote start fob will fl ash and beep two (2) times**, the horn will honk one (1) time and the side
marker lights, tail lights and parking lights will fl ash one (1) time. While the engine is running via the remote engine
start system, the remote start fob will continue to fl ash one (1) time every three (3) seconds, the side marker lights,
tail lights and parking lights will remain illuminated and the power window switches will be disabled. The engine
will continue to run for fi fteen (15) minutes unless one of the safety parameters below is triggered. The system also
has a timer that will allow the system to operate for a maximum of twenty (20) minutes (under multiple remote start
activations). Using the factory ignition key (Turn start models) or Access key (Push button start models) to turn on the
ignition resets the twenty (20) minute timer.
If the engine turns over but does not start (or starts and stalls) the remote engine start system will power off and then
attempt to start the engine three (3) additional times. The system will not attempt to restart the engine if it determines
a vehicle malfunction is preventing it from starting. If the engine does not start after the three (3) additional attempts,
the remote engine start request will be aborted.
