Important limits

  • Never remote-start in an enclosed garage because exhaust gases can accumulate.
  • A remote-start session does not make the Enclave ready to drive; normal in-cabin starting is still required.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the lamps do not respond, move closer and verify the hood and doors are closed and the fob battery is not weak.
  • ✓If another extension is refused, the single extension may already have been used; complete a normal start before beginning a new cycle.
