To use the remote engine start, press the lock button on your key fob, then press and hold the engine start button within five seconds. The engine will start, and the climate control system will activate.
Ensure your vehicle is locked and the hood is fully closed. Check the key fob battery and ensure the car is not in Valet mode. If problems persist, consult your owner's manual or a dealer.
Yes, to extend the run time, perform the remote start sequence again while the engine is already running. The engine will run for an additional 10 minutes.

Press and hold the engine start button on the key fob for at least one second to turn off the engine.
The climate control system will activate based on your last settings. To adjust, set the climate control before turning off the engine, and these settings will be used the next time you remote start the car.
It's a good practice to check the key fob battery annually and replace it if the remote start range decreases or the LED indicator light dims.
The remote start may not activate if the fuel level is critically low to prevent running out of fuel. Ensure there's sufficient fuel before using remote start.
It's not recommended to use remote start in an enclosed space like a garage due to the risk of carbon monoxide buildup. Always ensure proper ventilation.
If the system fails often, check for nearby interference from other electronic devices, ensure all doors and the hood are closed, and verify that the vehicle is not in any abnormal mode. Seek assistance from a dealership if issues continue.
