Remote Vehicle Start This vehicle may have a remote starting feature that starts the engine from outside of the vehicle. / (Remote Start): This button is on the RKE transmitter if the vehicle has remote start. Laws in some communities may restrict the use of remote starters. For example, some laws may require a person using the remote start to have the vehicle in view

when doing so. Check local regulations for any requirements on remote starting of vehicles. Do not use the remote start feature if the vehicle is low on fuel. The vehicle could run out of fuel. If the vehicle has the remote start feature, the RKE transmitter range may be less while the vehicle is running. Other conditions can affect the performance of the transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 2-2. Starting the Engine Using Remote Start To start the vehicle: 1. Aim the RKE transmitter at the

vehicle.

2. Press and release Q on the

vehicle's lights cannot be seen, press and hold / for at least four seconds.

When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn on and remain on as long as the engine is running. The doors will be locked and the climate control system will operate automatically if the vehicle has the automatic system, or at the same setting as when the vehicle was last turned off. If the vehicle has an automatic climate control system and heated seats, the heated seats turn on during colder outside temperatures and shut off when the key is turned to ON/RUN. See Heated and Cooled Front Seats on page 3-8. The rear window defogger and heated mirrors, if the vehicle has them, turn on during colder outside temperatures and turn off when the key is turned to ON/RUN.

After entering the vehicle during a remote start, insert and turn the key to the ON/RUN position to drive the vehicle. If the vehicle is left running it automatically shuts off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been done. Extending Engine Run Time To extend the engine run time by 10 minutes, repeat Steps 1–3 while the engine is still running. An extension can be requested 30 seconds after starting. The engine run time can only be extended if it is the first remote start since the vehicle has been driven. Remote start can be extended one time. If the remote start procedure is used again before the first 10-minute time frame has ended, the first 10 minutes will immediately expire and the second 10-minute time frame will start.

For example, if Q and then / are pressed again after the vehicle has been running for five minutes, 10 minutes are added, allowing the engine to run for a total of 15 minutes. A maximum of two remote starts or remote start attempts are allowed between ignition cycles. After the vehicle's engine has been started two times using the remote start button, the ignition must be turned on and then back off before the remote start procedure can be used again. Canceling a Remote Start To manually shut off a remote start: . Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle and press / until the parking lamps turn off. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. Turn the ignition switch on and then off.

Vehicle Security This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make the vehicle impossible to steal.

Vehicle Alarm System On vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system, to activate the system: . Press Q on the Remote Keyless

Entry (RKE) transmitter or the power door lock switch when any door is open.

The security light flashes. When the door is closed, the security light stops flashing and stays on solid for approximately 30 seconds. The content theft-deterrent alarm is not armed until the security light goes off. If the delayed locking feature is active, the alarm is not activated until all doors are closed and the security light goes off.

. Press Q when the driver door is closed. The security light comes on solid for approximately 30 seconds and then goes off. The content theft-deterrent alarm is not armed until the security light goes off.

The theft-deterrent system will not activate if the doors are locked with the vehicle's key or the manual door lock. If a locked door is opened without using the RKE transmitter, a 10-second pre-alarm occurs. The

horn chirps and the lights flash. If the key is not placed in the ignition and turned to START or the door is not unlocked by pressing Q during the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm goes off. The headlamps flash and the horn sounds for about 30 seconds, then turns off to save the battery power. The vehicle can be started with the correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off. To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:

Lock the vehicle with the door key after the doors are closed. . Unlock the door with the RKE

transmitter. Unlocking a door any other way sets off the alarm if the system has been armed. Press K or place the key in the ignition and turn it to START to turn off the alarm.

Testing the Alarm To test the alarm: 1. From inside the vehicle, lower

the driver side window, and open the driver door.

2. Press Q. 3. Get out of the vehicle, close the

door, and wait for the security light to go out.

4. Reach in through the window,

unlock the door with the manual door lock, and open the door. This should set off the alarm.

If the alarm does not sound when it should, but the headlamps flash, check to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 10-29. If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not flash, see your dealer for service.

Immobilizer See Radio Frequency Statement on page 13-12.

Immobilizer Operation This vehicle has PASS-Key® III+ (Personalized Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key III+ is a passive theft-deterrent system. The system is automatically armed when the key is removed from the ignition. The system is automatically disarmed when the key is turned to ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY, or START from the LOCK/OFF position. You do not have to manually arm or disarm the system. The security light comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.

When the PASS-Key III+ system senses an incorrect key, the vehicle does not start. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high number of electrical key codes. If the engine does not start and the security light on the instrument panel comes on when trying to start the vehicle, there may be a problem with the theft-deterrent system. Turn the ignition off and try again. If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key and check the fuses. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 10-29 for additional information. If the engine still does not start with the other key, the vehicle needs service. If the vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer who can service the PASS-Key III+ to have a new key made. In an emergency, contact Roadside Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program on page 13-5.

It is possible for the PASS-Key III+ decoder to learn the transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up to 10 keys may be programmed to the vehicle. The following procedure is for programming additional keys only. If all currently programmed keys are lost or do not operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key III+ to have keys made and programmed to the system. See your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key III+ to get a new key blank that is cut exactly as the ignition key that operates the system. To program the new additional key:

1. Verify that the new key has a 1

the key to LOCK/OFF, and remove the key. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to the ON/RUN position within five seconds of the original key being turned to the LOCK/OFF position. The security light turns off once the key has been programmed.

5. Repeat Steps 1–4 if additional

keys are to be programmed.

If the PASS-Key III+ key is lost or damaged, see your dealer or a locksmith to have a new key made. The SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM message displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when there is a problem with the theft-deterrent system. See Security Messages on page 5-41 for additional information. Do not leave the key or device that disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
