How to Use the Remote Start Feature on the CT6?
3 Answers
To use the remote start feature on the Cadillac CT6, press the lock button on the remote key, then immediately hold the start button for more than 4 seconds. Below is additional information about remote start: 1. Remote start allows the engine to be started remotely via the key fob. When using this feature, owners should note that the remote start typically works within a range of 50 meters. Beyond this range, functions such as vehicle security, remote control, and window operation will not work. 2. After the vehicle is remotely started, for safety reasons, the doors remain locked and all windows are raised, preventing air circulation inside the car. Therefore, before entering the vehicle, owners should open the door and wait briefly to allow stale air to circulate out.
I've been driving the Cadillac CT6 for a while and find the remote start feature particularly convenient. The basic operation is to first press the lock button on the key fob once, then hold down the engine start icon for about 5 seconds, and the car will flash its lights to confirm a successful start. Using the smartphone is even simpler - just download the MyCadillac app, link your vehicle account, and tap the start button. I often start it from my house window in winter, and after ten minutes when I get in, the seats are warm and extremely comfortable. In summer, you can also pre-cool the car to avoid extreme heat. Just make sure not to exceed 50 meters distance, as signal interference may cause failure beyond that range. Remember to keep the app connected and updated - after remote starting, the doors automatically lock for theft prevention. Overall, the system is highly intelligent and saves time searching for keys.
After driving for over a decade, I find the CT6's remote start very practical. It's mainly operated via the key fob: press the lock button then hold the start button until the car responds, or use the quick control on the mobile app. The optimal range is within 30 meters; beyond that, it fails. I use it to preheat the engine to avoid excessive fuel consumption during cold starts, especially useful for melting ice on snowy days. The safety design is thorough—once started, doors and windows remain locked and can only be unlocked with the key. Occasionally, if the signal is weak, I need to move closer and retry. The benefits are obvious, with interior adjustments ready in just minutes. It's even better when paired with the seat heating function.
