. There are some general precautions
when starting the engine.
Carefully read the precautions
described in “General Precautions
When Starting/Stopping
Engine” ☞P326.
. Do not remote start a vehicle in an
enclosed environment (e.g.
closed garage). Prolonged operation
of a motor vehicle in an
enclosed environment can cause
a harmful build-up of carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
harmful to your health. Exposure
to high levels of carbon monoxide
can cause headaches, dizziness
or in extreme cases unconsciousness
and/or death.
The remote engine start system allows you
to start the engine from outside the vehicle.
In addition, the remote engine start system
can activate the heater or air conditioner,
providing you with a comfortable cabin
upon entry. For more details, refer to the
Owner’s Manual supplement for the remote
engine start system.
NOTE
. The length of time for which it is
acceptable to allow the engine to
remain idling may be bound by local
laws and regulations. Check the local
rules when using the remote engine
start system.
. When taking your vehicle in for
service, it is recommended that you
inform the service personnel that your
vehicle is equipped with a remote
engine start system.
