22 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

REMOTE START

This system uses the key fob to start the engine

conveniently from outside the vehicle while still

maintaining security. The system has a range

of approximately 328 ft (100 m).

Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold weather,

and to reach a comfortable climate in all ambient

conditions before the driver enters the vehicle.

HOW TO USE REMOTE START

Push and release the Remote Start button on the key fob

twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will lock, the

parking lights will flash, and the horn will chirp twice (if

programmed). Then, the engine will start, and the vehicle

will remain in the Remote Start mode for a 15 minute

cycle. Pushing the Remote Start button a third time shuts

the engine off.

NOTE:

 With Remote Start, the engine will only run for

15 minutes.

 Remote Start can only be used twice.

 If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low, the

vehicle will start and then shut down in 10 seconds.

 The parking lights will turn on and remain on during

Remote Start mode.

 Headlight animation (if equipped) will occur when

Remote Start is activated, if “Headlight Illumination On

Approach” is enabled within Uconnect Settings.

 For security, power window and power sunroof opera-

tion (if equipped) are disabled when the vehicle is in

the Remote Start mode.

 The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN position

before the Remote Start sequence can be repeated for

a third cycle.

All of the following conditions must be met before the

engine will remote start:

 Gear selector in PARK

 Doors closed

 Hood closed

 Liftgate closed

 Hazard switch off

 Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)

 Battery at an acceptable charge level

 System not disabled from previous Remote Start event

 Vehicle Security Light flashing

 Ignition in OFF position

 Panic button is not pushed

 Fuel level meets minimum requirement

 Vehicle Security system is not signaling an intrusion

 Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is not illuminated

TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE

To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote Start

system, either push and release the unlock button on the

key fob to unlock the doors, or unlock the vehicle using

Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry via the door

handles, and disarm the Vehicle Security system (if

equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 15 minute cycle,

push and release the START/STOP ignition button.

The Remote Start system will turn the engine off if the

Remote Start button on the key fob is pushed again, or if

the engine is allowed to run for the entire 15 minute cycle.

Once the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position, the

climate controls will resume previously set operations

(temperature, blower control, etc.).

NOTE:

 To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will

disable for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote

Start request.

WARNING!

 Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or

confined area. Exhaust gas contains carbon

monoxide which is odorless and colorless. Carbon

monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury

or death when inhaled.

 Keep key fobs away from children. Operation of the

Remote Start system, windows, door locks or other

controls could cause serious injury or death.
