Push and release the Remote Start button on the key fob twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will lock, the parking lights will flash, and the horn will chirp twice (if programmed). Then, the engine will start, and the vehicle will remain in the Remote Start mode for a 15 minute cycle.
Pushing the Remote Start button a third time shuts the engine off.
To drive the vehicle, push the unlock button, and place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
All of the following conditions must be met before the engine will remote start:

Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation of the Remote Start system, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.
