The remote start system allows the vehicle to be started from up to 50 meters (165 feet) away. For more information on the remote start system, refer to the owners literature and
Refer to: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - System Operation and Component Description (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, Description and Operation).

The Auto-Start-Stop system helps reduce fuel consumption by automatically shutting off and restarting your vehicle’s engine while the vehicle is stopped. The Auto-Start-Stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The engine restarts automatically when you release the brake pedal. In some situations, your vehicle may restart automatically, for example:

• To maintain interior comfort
• To recharge the battery
