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.

Remote Start Safety Parameters

For safety and security reasons, the system will fail to start or shut down the engine during remote start operation if 
any of the following occur:

• 

The remote start system has operated for twenty (20) minutes between ignition “ON” cycles

The horn will honk three (3) times and the parking lights will fl ash three (3) times

• 

Any of the vehicle’s doors, trunk or rear gate are open 

The horn will honk six (6) times and the parking lights will fl ash six (6) times

• 

The vehicle’s hood is open

The horn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will fl ash two (2) times

• 

The ignition key is resting in the ignition cylinder (Turn start models)

The horn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will fl ash two (2) times

• 

The transmission shifter is not in the “park” position

The horn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will fl ash two (2) times

• 

The vehicle’s brake pedal is pressed before the vehicle ignition is turned “ON”

The horn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will fl ash two (2) times

• 

The vehicle’s engine idle speed has reached a level over 3,500 RPM (this will cause the vehicle to shut down)

• 

The vehicle’s security system is triggered by opening the door, trunk 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 engine will shut down.

WARNING:  TO AVOID DANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE, NEVER REMOTE START A VEHICLE IN A CLOSED 
SPACE SUCH AS A CLOSED GARAGE.

NOTE:  Laws in some communities require that the vehicle be within view of anyone using the Remote Engine 
Start.  In some areas, use of the Remote Engine Start may violate state, provincial or local laws.  Before using 
the Remote Engine Start, check your state, provincial and local laws.

* See the vehicle owner’s manual for more details.
** Provided that the remote start fob is within the operating range of the system.
