3-20 Pre-driving checks and adjustments
Other conditions may affect the remote
engine start function. See “Conditions the
remote engine start will not work” (P.3-21).
Other conditions can affect the perfor-
mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter.
See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-7) for
additional information.
REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING
RANGE
The remote engine start function can
only be used when the Intelligent Key is
within the specified operating range from
the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intelli-
gent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range
is approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the
vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE ENGINE
To use the remote start function to start
the engine, perform the following:
1. If the doors are unlocked, push the
LOCK
button to lock all doors.
2. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
3. Push the LOCK
button again.
4. Within 5 seconds push and hold the
remote engine start
button until
the turn signal lights flash and the tail
lights illuminate. If the vehicle is not
within view, push and hold the remote
engine start
button for at least 2
seconds.
The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
. The front parking lights will turn on
and remain on as long as the engine is
running.
. The doors will be locked and the air
conditioner system may turn on.
. The engine will continue to run for
about 10 minutes. Repeat the steps to
extend the time for an additional 10
minutes. See “Extending engine run
time” (P.3-20).
Depress and hold the brake pedal, then
place the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion before driving. For further instruc-
tions, see “Driving the vehicle” (P.5-19).
EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The remote engine start function can be
extended one time by performing the
steps listed in “Remote starting the en-
gine” (P.3-20). Run time will be calculated
as follows:
. The first 10 minute run time will start
when the remote engine start func-
tion is performed.
. The second 10 minutes will start im-
mediately when the remote engine
start function is performed. For exam-
ple, if the engine has been running for
5 minutes, and 10 minutes are added,
the engine will run for a total of 15
minutes.
. Extending engine run time will count
towards the two remote engine start
limit.
A maximum of two remote engine starts,
or a single start with an extension can be
used.
The vehicle needs to be driven at speeds
of 4 MPH (7 km/h) before the remote
engine start procedure can be used
again.
