How to Use URV Remote Start?
3 Answers
To use the URV remote start, first press the lock button, then hold down the remote start button. Important considerations for using remote start include: 1. The vehicle must be within a 50-meter range for the remote start to work; 2. After the vehicle is remotely started, you should open the door and wait a moment to allow stale air to circulate out. Taking the 2020 Honda URV as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of 4856mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm and a curb weight of 1745kg. The 2020 Honda URV is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 193PS, a maximum torque of 243Nm, and a maximum power of 142kW, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
I remember the remote start feature on the Honda UR-V is quite convenient, mainly operated via the car key. First, make sure the car is locked, then stand within about 30-40 meters of the vehicle. Quickly press the lock button on the key twice, then hold down the start button without releasing it. Wait for about 3-5 seconds, and the engine will start with the headlights flashing once to indicate success. After starting, the air conditioning can pre-set the temperature, which is especially comfortable for pre-warming in winter or pre-cooling in summer. Just remember not to let the engine idle for too long—it will automatically shut off after about ten minutes to save fuel. I often use this function before driving, particularly in freezing weather, so my hands don’t get cold when getting in. The only thing to note is ensuring the key battery has enough charge; otherwise, the operation might not work smoothly.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I've tried the remote start feature on the URV. The key fob operation is straightforward, but I prefer using the mobile app. First, download the HondaLink app and set up an account to link with your vehicle. Open the app, select the engine start option, and wait a few seconds—it also allows you to set the AC temperature or check fuel levels. A good signal is crucial; slow internet can cause delays, and the range is similar to the key fob, effective within a few dozen meters. Don't forget to activate the system for the first time using the manual setup. I like testing it in parking lots—safe and efficient, and it’s a lifesaver when the key fob battery dies. Always ensure an open environment to avoid carbon monoxide risks, and enter the car promptly after starting to shift gears and drive away.
