Chevrolet’s remote start feature is a real godsend. It can save you time while running away from hordes of hungry zombies by letting you start your car engine before you get behind the wheel. More seriously, we use it a lot in the winter as it allows us to warm up the engine without having to go out into the freezing cold to start it. Is that how it works.
First, and most obvious, make sure your car is equipped with a remote starter. The feature is available on a long list of cars made by Chevrolet and its sister companies Buick, GMC and Cadillac. The best way to find out if you have one is to look at the key fob; the remote start button is shaped like a curved arrow. If you don’t see it, your car is not equipped with it.
You found it? Good. Pressing it will do nothing; you won’t press it twice, and holding it won’t get you anywhere. Start with a push of the padlock-shaped button that locks the car. Then immediately press and hold the remote start button (the one with the arrow) for at least four seconds and your engine should roar again. Chevrolet put this sequence together to make sure the car is locked when it starts, so someone walking their dog can’t jump out and walk away, and to reduce the likelihood that the car will start just because its owner pushed the start button while Was sitting. in pendant.
The parking lights come on when the engine is started. The climate control also kicks in and returns to the last used setting, so run it when you park overnight if you want a warm cabin in the morning. You may also see the inclusion of a rear window defroster and heated/ventilated seats. Please note that you need to be relatively close to your car for the remote start feature to work; don’t expect the engine to start if you are eight miles from where you parked.
You’ve had your coffee, you’ve put on your coat, the engine has warmed up, and you’re ready to go. Remember, you locked the car before using the remote start feature, so you’ll need to unlock it before opening the doors. And, this feature starts the engine, but not the ignition, so you can’t change gears until you push the start button on the dash. Once you’ve done this, simply press the brake pedal and move the shifter out of park as you normally would.
Keep a few points in mind when using remote start. First, the engine will only run for 15 minutes. You can repeat the above steps within 30 seconds of the first boot to extend the runtime by 15 minutes, for a total of 30 minutes. You are only allowed one extension. Second, the feature is disabled if the hood isn’t closed, the key fob is in the car, or the hazard lights are on. Third, check that there is enough fuel in the tank to run the engine for half an hour.
Let’s say you change your mind; although you will not leave Turning off the engine is as easy as holding down the button with the curved arrow. If you can’t hear the car (if it’s in your driveway, for example), you’ll know it’s off when your parking lights come on. You can also turn on the hazard lights or use the power button on the dash.
