GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 25
REMOTE START— IF EQUIPPED (DIESEL)
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the
ve
hicle while still maintaining security.
The system has a range of approximately
300
ft (91 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold
w
eather, and to reach a comfortable climate in all
ambient conditions before the driver enters the
vehicle.
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and the key
fob may reduce this range.
The Remote Start system will wait for the Wait
To Start Indicator Light to extinguish before
cranking the engine. This allows time for the
engine preheat cycle to heat the cylinder air,
and is normal in cold weather. For further infor
-
mation on the Wait To Start Indicator Light and
th
e preheat cycle, see Ú page 119.
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
th
e engine off.
To drive the vehicle, push the unlock button, and
place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
All of the following conditions must be met before
the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, tailgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™
Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the
Vehicle Security system is armed, interior switches
for door locks and tailgate release are disabled. If
something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security
system will provide the following audible and
visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash
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.
