20 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Manual Temperature Control (MTC) — If Equipped
In ambient temperatures of 40°F (4.5°C) or below, the
climate settings will default to maximum heat, with
fresh air entering the cabin. If the front defrost timer
expires, the vehicle will enter Mix mode.
In ambient temperatures from 40°F (4.5°C) to 78°F
(26°C), the climate settings will be based on the last
settings selected by the driver.
In ambient temperatures of 78°F (26°C) or above, the
climate settings will default to MAX A/C, Bi-Level mode,
and Recirculation on.
For more information on ATC, MTC, and climate control
settings, see
Ú page 56.
NOTE:
These features will stay on through the duration of
Remote Start, or until the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position. The climate control settings will change if
manually adjusted by the driver while the vehicle is in
remote start mode. This includes turning the climate
controls off using the OFF button.
REMOTE START WINDSHIELD WIPER
D
E-ICER ACTIVATION — IF EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient
temperature is less than 33°F (0.6°C), the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting Remote Start will
resume previous operation. If the Windshield Wiper
De-Icer was active, the Windshield Wiper De-Icer timer and
operation will continue.
REMOTE START CANCEL MESSAGE
One of the following messages will display in the
instrument cluster if the vehicle fails to remote start or
exits Remote Start prematurely:
Remote Start Canceled — Door Open
Remote Start Canceled — Hood Open
Remote Start Canceled — Fuel Low
Remote Start Canceled — Tailgate Open
Remote Start Canceled — Time Expired
Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset
The message will stay active until the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position.
REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED (DIESEL)
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.
NOTE:
The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic trans-
mission to be equipped with Remote Start.
Obstructions between the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
The Remote Start system will wait for the Wait To Start
yellow telltale to extinguish before cranking the engine
Ú page 122. This allows time for the engine preheat
cycle to heat the cylinder air, and is normal in cold
weather.
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push and release the Remote Start button on the key fob
twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors and tailgate
will lock, the turn signals will flash twice, and the horn will
chirp twice. Pushing the Remote Start button again will
shut 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.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or
confined area. Exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide (CO) 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.
