Important limits

  • Never remote-start in an enclosed garage because exhaust gases can accumulate.
  • Remote start runs for 15 minutes per period and does not make the vehicle ready to drive until the normal in-cabin start procedure is completed.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the turn signals do not flash, move closer, verify the hood and doors are closed, and check the fob battery.
  • ✓If another extension is refused, the permitted extension may already have been used; start the engine normally before beginning a new remote-start cycle.
