OVERVIEW
Remote engine start allows starting the engine from a distance, before entering the vehicle. Use the
Remote Engine Start transmitter to start or stop the engine. The engine will idle for a preset period of
time (5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes), or when specific conditions are detected. The factory default is 10
minutes.
For remote starting to occur, the following requirements must be met:
D Transmission in P (Park)
D All doors closed, including liftgate/trunk. (Door locking/unlocking is not affected by remote start.)
D Engine hood closed
