How To Use Chevy Remote Start With Your Key Fob
Chevrolet is here to make your life easy and convenient. That’s why all new Chevrolet models have available remote start, accessible on your vehicle’s key fob and through the MyChevrolet app. Using impressive technology, the remote start function warms or cools your vehicle’s cabin before entry so it’s comfortable when you get in, allows you to warm up your vehicle’s engine, and integrates with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. Visit Smith Chevy Hammond to get your Chevrolet vehicle equipped with remote start now!
Using Remote Start with Your Key Fob
If you’re wondering how to use remote start, we’ve got you covered. First, double check your Chevy vehicle is equipped with a remote-operated starter. You can check your key fob to make sure. If you see a remote-start button shaped like a curved arrow, then you have remote start capabilities.
Once you’re ready to remote start your vehicle, you need to be relatively close to start your vehicle with your key fob, though you can use the MyChevrolet app remote start from greater distances. Start by first pressing the lock button to lock your car before it starts your engine for safety and security purposes. You will not be able to remote start your vehicle until it has been locked beforehand. Then, immediately press and hold the remote start button for at least four seconds. Your engine will then roar to life.
Things You Should Know
If you can’t get your remote start to work, keep in mind that the function is disabled if the hood is not closed, if the key fob is inside the car (to prevent you from locking yourself out), or if the hazard lights are on. Check these first if you’re having any trouble.
When using remote start, your engine will run for only 15 minutes before it shuts down itself. The time limit is meant to preserve power in case you change your mind or forget your vehicle is started. If the 15 minutes runs out before you’re ready to depart, you can repeat the remote start process within 30 seconds of the first run time, for a total of 30 minutes. If you no longer need to use your vehicle, you can easily turn your engine off by pressing and holding the remote start button in the same manner.
