Remote Start (If Equipped)
The factory-installed remote start allows the vehicle to be remotely started from outside the vehicle. There is a 2-way communication between the passive key and the vehicle to provide the remote start status of the vehicle. The passive key contains a green and a red LED to indicate the remote start status.
Remote Start LED Feedback
| LED | Status |
|---|---|
| Flashing green | Waiting for status update from vehicle |
| Flashing red | Remote start/stop failed |
| Solid green | Remote start or extension successful |
| Solid red | Remote stop successful (engine off) |
To remotely start the vehicle, the buttons on the passive key must be pressed within 3 seconds of each other. Press the lock button once and then the remote start button twice. The vehicle should remotely start and the LED on the passive key should be lit solid green.
