steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running.

If the duration is set to 10 minutes, the

duration extends by another 10 minutes.

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 engine running time duration to a

Information (page 91).

The power windows do not work during

remote start and the radio does not turn

on automatically.

You can turn the remote start system on

or off using the information display. See

General Information (page 91).

remote controls from an authorized dealer.

Authorized dealers can program remote

controls for your vehicle. See Passive

Anti-Theft System (page 67).

The parking lamps remain on and your

vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes,

depending on the setting.

To re-program the passive anti-theft

system see an authorized dealer.
