Automatic Headlamp System
Your G5 is equipped with an Automatic
Headlamp System, which turns on the
headlamps and other exterior lamps at
night or when necessary. The exterior
lamps also can be operated manually.
Exterior Lamps
This feature
allows you
to start the
engine from
outside the
vehicle by
using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. (Remote Vehicle Start trans-
mitter range is within 200 feet of the
vehicle.) The remote start capability
can be turned on or off using the Driver
Information Center. (See Driver
Information Center.)
The vehicle’s climate control system
also will turn on at the same setting as
when the vehicle was last turned off to
heat or cool the vehicle interior.
After a remote start, the engine will run
for about 10 minutes before turning
itself off, but can be extended 10 min-
utes by performing another remote start
sequence at any time. After two consec-
utive remote starts, no additional remote
starts are allowed until the vehicle has
been started with the ignition key.
Starting the Vehicle
1. Aim the RKE transmitter at the
vehicle.
2. Press and release the (Lock)
button on the transmitter.
3. Immediately press and hold the
(Remote Start) button for about four
seconds.
4. When the vehicle starts, the parking
lamps will light and stay on while the
engine is running.
Note: The Remote Vehicle Start feature
will not operate if the key is in the igni-
tion, a door or the hood is open, or the
Check Engine light is illuminated on the
instrument panel cluster.
