Important limits

  • Never remote-start the engine in a garage or other enclosed area, and comply with local idling rules.
  • The quick reference guide gives an approximate maximum range of 197 ft (60 m), but buildings and radio interference can reduce it.
  • The engine will not remote-start with the Intelligent Key inside the vehicle.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If nothing happens, verify the Armada is in Park with the ignition off and all doors closed and locked.
  • ✓If the key is out of range, move closer and keep it away from phones or metal objects.
  • ✓If the engine starts but climate output seems unchanged, remember the automatic system responds to outside and cabin conditions.
