Remote Start RESTRICTED to 2x
What is the purpose of limiting the remote start feature to 2 times? It was recently -14 degrees F. here in the Chicago area with a few inches of snow and I didn't leave the house over the weekend. ...
We appreciate you sharing these sentiments with us. We are aware some manufacturers provide similar features on their motor vehicles and have individually determined their own appropriate range of time for individual remote start cycles. Our engineers have calibrated the length of each Remote Start to be up to 20 minutes long, resulting in a total of up to 40 minutes for the pre-conditioning period. This balances safe vehicle operation with cabin conditioning needs and management of the vehicle.
