New Accord Remote Start: While the vehicle is locked, press the lock button to remotely lock the car, then press and hold the remote start button. Release the button once the hazard lights flash, and the vehicle will start automatically. Below are some precautions after remote starting the New Accord: 1. If the vehicle is not started within 10 minutes after remote start, it will automatically shut off. 2. The remote start will automatically activate the automatic air conditioning (turning on the AC in summer and the heater in winter, automatically detecting the interior and exterior temperatures). Additional Information: Below are other remote operations: 1. Remote Shut-off: If the vehicle is already in remote start mode, press and hold the remote start button to shut off the engine. 2. Driving After Remote Start: After remote starting, press the unlock button, enter the vehicle, press the ignition switch while holding the brake pedal, and the dashboard will activate, allowing you to drive.
I find the remote start feature on my new Accord quite convenient. Typically, I operate it using the key fob: first press the lock button to ensure the car is locked, then hold the start button for about 3 seconds, and the car starts automatically. I often use this to warm up the engine on cold winter mornings, saving time. When operating, make sure the car is within the key's signal range, approximately within 30 meters. If the signal is weak or a door is open, the system will refuse to start. Additionally, using the mobile app offers more flexibility. Just log into your account on the app, select the Accord model, and tap the start button—it can also turn on the air conditioning simultaneously. Once you get used to it, driving becomes more comfortable, avoiding cold hands and feet. Don’t forget to regularly check the key fob’s battery level, as low battery may cause malfunctions, and avoid placing the key near metal objects that could interfere with the signal.
