hold down your unlock button for 3-5 seconds and watch the magic

- make sure to do it when your near the car hah

 

this has to be done everytime you wanna lock your doors?

 

^^It rolls down your windows and opens your sunroof, if you have it programmed. If not, you can talk to your local dealer about programming it to do so. As far as I know, there's no way of locking our cars without the keypad inside.

 

nice info kurtz

 

He was referring to cooling off the car in the summer. If you hold down the unlock, all the windows roll down and the sun roof opens, allowing the hot air trapped inside to escape. It's actually a really nice feature on a hot day. Unfortunately, it seems to have a very short range for it to work.

On a side note, I think it's funny how quite a few of these people talking about letting their cars warm up live in CA or FL. WTF?!? Trying living in a northern state and then MAYBE you'd have a reason to let the car idle, but not for the engine, for the cold *** freaking interior!

 

Be careful, leave the car warming up while your not around and it might be gone by the time you get back. Even if you lock it, it's only takes a few seconds for someone to smash a window, hop in and jet! Unfortunately, the car will still drive without the key being inside once it's started, it just won't be able to be turned off and on again.

 

Unfortunately, this feature can also activate unintentionally if the buttons on the keyfob get pressed by other items in your pants pocket (or purse). I remember coming out to the car parking lot after work to find my car wide open with the sunroof open and the windows down. Thankfully it wasn't raining and nothing was stolen, but it scared me enough to ask the dealer to turn the feature off.

 

if you said start your car from the remote.i assume you have remote starter.i always start my car from my phone and the door always lock.i have to unlock if i want get in.i also can roll all the window down by remote.if someone get in and i dont think they can drive car away because they dont have the remote and plus when they step on the brake pedal.the car will shut off the engine.im just saying.

 

Never knew warming up your car was bad.. I'm glad I clicked on this thread.

 

Many have the notion that idling is beneficial but ignore the fact that the trans and diff are still stone cold and mash on the throttle.
Warm them all up by driving them. After 15 minutes most of the fluids will be stabilizing.

 

Just found this today and thought it was relevant.
