After two remote starts have been provided, the
vehicle’s ignition switch must be turned to RUN and
then back to LOCK using the key before the remote start
procedure can be used again.
If you enter the vehicle after a remote start, and the
engine is running, insert the key into the ignition switch
and turn it to the RUN position to drive the vehicle.
To manually shut off the engine after a remote start, do
any of the following:
• Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter at the
vehicle and press the remote start button until
the parking lamps turn off.
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
• Insert the vehicle’s key into the ignition switch and
turn the switch to RUN and then back to LOCK.
The remote vehicle start feature will not operate if:
• The remote start system is disabled. See “REMOTE
START” under DIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel
Only) on page 3-72.
• The vehicle’s key is in the ignition.
• The vehicle’s hood, liftgate or doors are not closed.
• The hazard warning flashers are on.
• There is an emission control system malfunction.
• The engine coolant temperature is too high.
• The oil pressure is low.
• Two remote vehicle starts have already been
provided. The maximum number of remote starts or
remote start attempts between ignition cycles
with the key is two.
Remote Start Ready
If your vehicle does not have the remote vehicle start
feature, it may have the remote start ready feature. This
feature allows your dealer to add the manufacturer’s
remote vehicle start feature.
If the keyless entry transmitter has a plus (+) symbol on
the back cover, your vehicle has the remote start
ready feature. You can lock or unlock your vehicle from
approximately 197 feet (60 m) away.
See your dealer if you would like to add the
manufacturer’s remote vehicle start feature to your
vehicle.
