Starting Your Vehicle
The remote control start function is activated by pressing the “ “ button twice within 3 seconds on your remote control transmitter. Upon successful
activation the remote start confirming transmitter button will flash one (1) time* and the vehicle will honk the horn and flash the parking lights one (1) time.
The system will check certain pre-conditions before starting, and if all safety parameters are correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds. Upon
successful vehicle start, the remote start confirming transmitter button will flash two (2) times every five (5) seconds* and the vehicle will honk the horn
and flash the parking lights one (1) time, then the parking lights will turn on solid, indicating that the vehicle is running. 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 two (2) seconds to turn the vehicle off. The remote start confirming transmitter button
will flash three (3) times* indicating that the vehicle’s engine has shut down. 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 three (3) times unless the remote start system determines that
a vehicle problem is preventing the system from starting. If the vehicle fails to start after the additional attempts, the remote engine start system will
abort and return to a non activated state.
* Provided that the remote start transmitter is within the operating range of the system.
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 vehicle’s hood is open
• The ignition key is resting in the ignition cylinder (this condition will only prevent the vehicle from starting)
• The transmission shifter is not in the “park” position
• The vehicle’s brake pedal is depressed before the vehicle ignition switch is turned “on”
• The remote start system “Service Mode” is engaged
• The vehicle’s engine idle speed has reached a level over 3,500 RPM (this will cause the vehicle to shutdown)
• The vehicles security system is triggered by opening the door or rear gate (if the security system is armed at the time of remote start activation)
In addition to the items above, if the vehicle’s engine management system determines there is a safety risk due to a vehicle related problem, the vehicle
will shut down and the vehicle’s horn will beep three (3) times.
NOTE:
If the vehicle’s security system is armed at the time of remote start activation (security indicator light on the combination meter is flashing), the security
system will remain armed throughout the remote start run cycle.
If the vehicle’s security system is disarmed at the time of remote start activation (security indicator light on the combination meter is not flashing), the
security system will remain disarmed throughout the remote start run cycle.
