How to Use Remote Start Function
2 Answers
Remote start function usage method: 1. Press the lock button on the smart key once; 2. Long press the circle button in the lower left corner for 5 seconds until the car's turn signals flash to confirm startup; 3. When the engine is remotely started, the wipers, lighting, and audio system remain off while the security system stays active; 4. The engine will run for a maximum of 10 minutes. Using the same procedure can extend it by another 10 minutes. If the owner doesn't enter the vehicle within 20 minutes, the engine will automatically shut off; 5. Within the given time, when the owner unlocks the door, enters the vehicle, steps on the brake pedal, and presses the start button, the computer will activate all systems.
I absolutely love the remote start feature—it's super easy to use. There's usually a small car icon button or a "start" key on the key fob. Just hold it down for about three seconds, and the car will automatically start up not too far away. Don't go too far, though; it's best to stay within 20–30 meters, as the signal weakens beyond that. After starting, the engine runs but the doors remain locked, so no one can get in without using the key to unlock them. It's especially great in winter or summer—just start the car a few minutes early to turn on the AC or heater, and you'll step into a comfortable cabin. Just remember not to use it in a garage, as exhaust fumes can accumulate and become unsafe. Also, keep the key fob battery charged and check it every six months to avoid startup failures. Some newer cars even allow remote start via a smartphone app—just download the app and link it to your car for more diverse features, but make sure to confirm security settings during setup and avoid random clicks. Mastering these little tricks makes life so much more convenient.
