GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 23
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote
Start system, either push and release the
unlock button on the key fob to unlock the
doors, or unlock the vehicle using Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry via the door
handles, and disarm the Vehicle Security
system (if equipped). Then, prior to the end of
the 15 minute cycle, push and release the
START/STOP ignition button.
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:
To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the
system will disable for two seconds after
receiving a valid Remote Start request.
For vehicles equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry feature, the
message “Remote Start Active — Push Start
Button” will display in the instrument cluster
display until you push the START/STOP igni-
tion button.

When Remote Start is active, and the outside
ambient temperature is 40°F (4.5°C) or below,
the system will automatically activate front
defrost for 15 minutes or less. The time is
dependent on the ambient temperature. Once
the timer expires, the system will automatically
adjust the settings depending on ambient
conditions. See “Remote Start Comfort Systems
— If Equipped” in the next section for detailed
operation.
REMOTE START COMFORT SYSTEMS

F EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is activated, the front and
rear defrost will automatically turn on in cold
weather. The heated steering wheel and driver
heated seat feature will turn on if selected in
the comfort menu screen within Uconnect
Settings Ú page 207. In warm weather, the
driver vented seat feature will automatically
turn on when Remote Start is activated, if
programmed in the comfort menu screen. The
vehicle will adjust the climate control settings
depending on the outside ambient
temperature.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
The climate controls will automatically adjust to
the optimal temperature and mode settings
depending on the outside ambient
temperature. This will occur until the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position where the
climate controls will resume their previous
settings.
For more information on ATC and climate
control settings Ú page 66.
NOTE:
These features will stay on through the duration
of Remote Start until the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position. The climate control setting
will change, and exit automatic operation, if
manually adjusted by the driver while the
vehicle is in Remote Start mode. This includes
the OFF button on the climate controls, which
will turn the system off.
