GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 17
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote Start
system, push and release the START/STOP ignition button
while pressing the brake pedal prior to the end of the
15 minute cycle.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off with
another push and release of the Remote Start button on
the key fob, 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 the previously set
operations (temperature, blower control, etc.).
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™
Passive Entry feature, the message “Remote Start
Active — Push Start Button” will display in the instru-
ment cluster display until you push the START/STOP
ignition button.
To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will
disable for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote
Start request.
