GENERAL INFORMATION ON

RADIO FREQUENCIES

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC Rules and with Licence exempt RSS

Standards of Industry Canada. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful

interference, and

• This device must accept any

interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation.

WARNING

Changes or modifications not

expressively approved by the party

responsible for compliance could

void the user's authority to operate the

equipment. The term "IC:" before the radio

certification number only signifies that

Industry Canada technical specifications

were met.

The typical operating range for your

transmitter is approximately 33 ft (10 m).

Vehicles equipped with the remote start

feature have a greater range.

One of the following could cause a

decrease in operating range:

• Weather conditions.

• Nearby radio towers.

• Structures around your vehicle.

• Other vehicles parked next to your

vehicle.

The radio frequency used by your remote

control can also be used by other radio

transmitters, for example amateur radios,

medical equipment, wireless headphones,

wireless remote controls, cell phones,

battery chargers and alarm systems. If the

frequencies are jammed, you will not be

able to use your remote control. You can

lock and unlock the doors with the key.

Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before

leaving it unattended.

Note: If you are in range, the remote control

will operate if you press any button

unintentionally.

Note: The remote control contains sensitive

electrical components. Exposure to moisture

or impact may cause permanent damage.

Intelligent Access

The system uses a radio frequency signal

to communicate with your vehicle and

authorize your vehicle to unlock when one

of the following conditions are met:

• You activate the front exterior door

handle switch.

• You press the luggage compartment

button.

• You press a button on the transmitter.

If excessive radio frequency interference

is present in the area or if the transmitter

battery is low, you may need to

mechanically unlock your door. You can

use the mechanical key blade in your

intelligent access key to open the driver

door in this situation. See Remote

Control (page 51).

Climate Control (page 127).

Many states and provinces have

restrictions for the use of remote start.

Check your local and state or provincial

laws for specific requirements regarding

remote start systems.

Keys and Remote Controls

Extending the Vehicle Run Time

To extend the engine running time duration

of your vehicle during remote start, repeat

steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running.

If you programmed the duration to last 10

minutes, the second 10 minutes will begin

after what is left of the first activation

time. For example, if your vehicle had been

running from the first remote start for 5

minutes, your vehicle continues to run now

for a total of 20 minutes. You can extend

the remote start up to a maximum of 35

minutes.

Wait at least five seconds before remote

starting after a vehicle shutdown.

Turning Your Vehicle Off After Remote

Starting

E138625

Press the button once. The

parking lamps turn off.

You may have to be closer to

your vehicle to remotely switch off your

vehicle after remote starting. This is due

to the added noise of your running vehicle.

You can disable or enable the remote start

system through the information display.

See General Information (page 102).

An LED on the remote control provides

status feedback of remote start or stop

commands.
