Remote Start
You can start the engine and operate the climate control system by pressing the remote start button (5) outside the vehicle.
To remote start and stop the engine:
1. Press the door lock button (1), then the hazard warning lights flash once to alert you.
2. Press and hold the remote start button (5) for more than 2 seconds to start the engine within 4 seconds after pressing the door lock button (1).
3. To stop the engine, press the remote start button (5) again.
In manual control, the climate control system will remain on even when the engine is turned off. However, the automatic operating temperature is set to 22 °C.
If someone without an assigned Smart Key operates your vehicle while remote starting, the engine will automatically stop for safety reasons.
Information
After remote starting the engine, the engine will turn off automatically after 10 minutes if you do not drive the vehicle.
