Remote Vehicle Start/Active

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The remote vehicle start function allows engine starting while not in the vehicle. It also allows the vehicle HVAC system and other vehicle systems to enable, providing a comfortable vehicle upon entry. The remote vehicle start sequence begins by pressing and releasing the remote vehicle start button on the keyless entry transmitter twice. The turn signal lamps will illuminate to indicate the vehicle has received the remote start request. Each time a remote vehicle start is performed, the vehicle doors are locked, however they may then be unlocked/locked with the transmitter at any time. Once activated, the engine is allowed to run for 15 minutes. The remote start operation can be repeated as many times as desired up to a total run time of 30 minutes. The remote vehicle start event may be cancelled at any time by pressing only the remote vehicle start button on the transmitter or by entering the vehicle and turning ON the hazard lamps.
