Description
The Remote Vehicle Start feature provides you with the ability to start the engine on your vehicle without the keys and from virtually any distance. Once started, the preset climate controls in your vehicle can warm up or cool down the interior.
You can also send a command to turn off an engine that has been started using Remote Vehicle Start. After 15 minutes, if you have not entered your vehicle with the key, the engine will shut off automatically.
This remote function requires your vehicle to be equipped with a factory-installed Remote Start system.
You can set up push notifications every time a command is sent to activate or cancel Remote Start.
