18 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM IF EQUIPPED
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 (100m).

Obstructions between the vehicle and key

Push remote start button on the key fob twice
within five seconds. Pushing the remote start
button a third time shuts the engine off.
