Are you tired of getting into a freezing car during the winter months or a scorching hot car during summer? One of the great features of the Kia Telluride is its remote start capability. This means you can start your car from the comfort of your own home and have it ready to go when you are. Here’s how to remote start your Kia Telluride.
Step 1: Ensure Your Car is Set Up for Remote Start
Before you can use remote start, you need to make sure it’s set up on your vehicle. If you purchased a new Kia Telluride, remote start may already be installed. If not, you can have it installed by a Kia dealership or a professional car electronics installer.
Step 2: Check Your Key Fob
Your key fob is the device that allows you to lock and unlock your car doors. To use remote start, you’ll need to check that your key fob has the remote start button. If it doesn’t, you may need to upgrade your key fob to enable remote start.
Step 3: Start the Car
Now that you’ve ensured your car is set up for remote start and your key fob has the remote start button, you’re ready to start your car remotely. Simply press and hold the lock button on your key fob for three seconds, then press and hold the remote start button for another three seconds. Your car will start automatically.
Step 4: Turn Off Remote Start
If you want to turn off remote start before getting into your car, simply press the remote start button again. This will turn off the engine, and your car will be ready to start as normal when you get in.
Step 5: Safety Precautions
While the remote start feature is convenient, it’s important to remember a few safety precautions. Always make sure your car is in a safe and secure location before using remote start. Never start your car in an enclosed area, such as a garage, as this can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
