The available remote engine start feature lets you start the vehicle before you get to it, so that the cabin is preconditioned when you get in to drive.
The remote engine start system is designed to work within a range of about 100 feet if unobstructed, and somewhat less if buildings or other objects are between the remote and the vehicle.
- To start vehicle remotely, first press the lock button on the key fob.
- Within five seconds, press and hold the remote start button.
- The engine may take a few moments to start. When the engine starts, the vehicle will flash the turn signals six times.
- Once started remotely, the engine will run for 10 minutes and then shut off.
- You can extend the running time for another ten minutes by repeating the same procedure.
- To turn off the engine, press the remote start button on the key fob again. The turn signals will flash once when the engine stops.
