Dodge Charger: REMOTE START (IF EQUIPPED) / To Exit Remote Start Mode
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote Start system, either push and
release the unlock button on the key fob to unlock the doors, or unlock the vehicle
using Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry via the door handles, and disarm the Vehicle
Security system (if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 15 minute cycle, push
and release the START/STOP ignition button.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off with another push and release
of the Remote Start button on the key fob, or if the engine is allowed to run for
the entire 15 minute cycle. Once the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position,
the climate controls will resume previously set operations (temperature, blower
control, etc.).
NOTE:
- To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will disable for two seconds
after receiving a valid Remote Start request.
- For vehicles equipped with the Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry feature,
the message “Remote Start Active — Push Start Button” will display in the instrument
cluster display until you push the START/STOP igni- tion button.
