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.
Uponsuccessful activation, the remote start fob will flash and beep one (1) time**, the horn will honk one (1) time
andthe side marker lights, tail lights and parking lights will flash one (1) time. Thesystem will check certain safety
preconditionsbefore starting and if all conditions are met, the engine will start within five (5) seconds. Afterthe
enginestarts, the remote start fob will flash and beep two (2) times**, the horn will honk one (1) time and the side
markerlights, tail lights and parking lights will flash one (1) time. Whilethe engine is running via the remote engine
startsystem, the remote start fob will continue to flash one (1) time every three (3) seconds, the side marker lights,
taillights and parking lights will remain illuminated and the power window switches will be disabled. Theengine
willcontinue to run for fifteen (15) minutes unless one of the safety parameters below is triggered. Thesystem also
hasa 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
ignitionresets the twenty (20) minute timer.
Ifthe engine turns over but does not start (or starts and stalls) the remote engine start system will power off and then
attemptto start the engine three (3) additional times. Thesystem will not attempt to restart the engine if it determines
avehicle malfunction is preventing it from starting. Ifthe engine does not start after the three (3) additional attempts,
theremote engine start request will be aborted.
RemoteStart Safety Parameters
Forsafety and security reasons, the system will fail to start or shut down the engine during remote start operation if
anyof the following occur:
• Theremote start system has operated for twenty (20) minutes between ignition “ON” cycles
Thehorn will honk three (3) times and the parking lights will flash three (3) times
• Anyof the vehicle’s doors, trunk or rear gate are open
Thehorn will honk six (6) times and the parking lights will flash six (6) times
• Thevehicle’s hood is open
Thehorn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will flash two (2) times
• Theignition key is resting in the ignition cylinder (Turn start models)
Thehorn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will flash two (2) times
• Thetransmission shifter is not in the “park” position
Thehorn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will flash two (2) times
• Thevehicle’s brake pedal is pressed before the vehicle ignition is turned “ON”
Thehorn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will flash two (2) times
• Thevehicle’s engine idle speed has reached a level over 3,500 RPM (this will cause the vehicle to shut down)
• Thevehicle’s security system is triggered by opening the door, trunk or rear gate (if the security system is armed
atthe time of remote start activation)
Inaddition to the items above, if the vehicle’s engine management system determines there is a safety risk due to a
vehiclerelated problem, the engine will shut down.
WARNING: TO AVOIDDANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE, NEVER REMOTE START A VEHICLE IN ACLOSED
