Subaru Forester: Starting your vehicle
Starting your vehicle
The remote control start system is activated by pressing the “” button twice within 3 seconds on your remote control transmitter. The system will check certain pre-conditions before starting, and if all safety parameters are correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds. While the vehicle is operating via remote engine start, the vehicle’s power window features will be disabled. Also, the system has a timer and will shut down after 15 minutes if you do not operate the vehicle. Press and hold the “” button for 2 seconds again to turn the vehicle off. If the vehicle’s starter cranks but does not start or starts and stalls, the remote engine start system will power off then attempt to start the vehicle an additional four times. If the vehicle fails to start after the additional attempts, the remote engine start system will abort and return to a non-activated state.
