Car Finder

Press the lock button on the key twice
within three seconds. The horn sounds and
the turn signals flash. We recommend you
use this method to locate your vehicle,
rather than using the panic alarm.

Note: If locking was not successful or if any
door or the liftgate is open, or if the hood is
open on vehicles with a perimeter alarm or
remote start, the horn does sound twice and
the lamp does not flash.

Sounding a Panic Alarm

 (If Equipped)

Note: The panic alarm only operates when
the ignition is off.

E138624

Press the button to activate the
alarm. Press the button again or
switch the ignition on to

deactivate it.

Remote Start (If Equipped)

WARNING

To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use
remote start if your vehicle is parked
indoors or areas that are not well

ventilated.

Note: Do not use remote start if your vehicle
is low on fuel.

E138625

The remote start button is on the
transmitter.

This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle. The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.

Vehicles with automatic climate control
can be configured to operate when the
vehicle is remote started.  See Automatic
Climate Control (page 108).

Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
remote start systems.

The remote start system does not work if
any of the following occur:
•

The ignition is on.

•

The alarm system triggers.

•

You disable the feature.

•

The hood is open.

•

The transmission is not in P.

•

The vehicle battery voltage is too low.

•

The powertrain fault indicator was on
the last time your vehicle was driven.

Remote Starting the Vehicle

Note: You must press each button within
three seconds of each other. If you do not
follow this sequence, your vehicle does not
remote start, the exterior lamps do not flash
twice, and the horn does not sound.

E138626

The label on your transmitter details the
starting procedure.

To remote start your vehicle:

1.

Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.

2. Press the remote start button twice.

The exterior lamps flash twice.

The horn sounds if the system fails to start,
unless quiet start is on. Quiet start runs the
blower fan at a slower speed to reduce
noise. You can switch it on or off in the
information display.  See General
Information (page 93).

Note: If you remote start your vehicle with
an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must
switch the ignition on before driving your
vehicle. If you remote start your vehicle with
an intelligent access transmitter, you must
press the START/STOP button on the
instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving your vehicle.

The power windows do not work during
remote start and the radio does not turn
on automatically.

The parking lamps remain on and the
vehicle runs for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.

Extending the Vehicle Run Time

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still
running to extend the run time for another
remote start duration. If the duration is set
to last 10 minutes, the duration extends by
another 10 minutes. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the vehicle
continues to run now for a total of 20
minutes. You can extend the remote start
up to a maximum of 30 minutes.

Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after a vehicle shutdown.

Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting

E138625

Press the button once. The
parking lamps turns off.

You may have to be closer to the

vehicle than when starting due to ground
reflection and the added noise of the
running vehicle.

You can disable or enable the remote start
system through the information display.
See General Information (page 93).
