The parking lamps remain on and the vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still running to extend the run time for another remote start period. If you programmed the periods to last 10 minutes, the second 10 minutes begins after what is left of the first activation time. For example, if the vehicle has run from the first remote start for five minutes, the vehicle continues to run now for a total of 20 minutes. You can extend the remote start up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle shutdown.
