and temperature settings that the
system was set to when the vehicle
was last turned off. If the fan is
set to O (Off), the climate control
system will not turn on.

may restrict the use of remote
starters. For example, some laws
may require a person using remote
start to have the vehicle in view.

requirements.

can affect the performance of the
transmitter, see Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System
