When the weather cools off or heats up, the worst part of your morning can be spent shivering or sweating in your car. Unfortunately, drivers of premium models with leather-appointed seating know the feeling of settling into an icy or blistering seat. If you’re tired of sliding into a too-hot or too-cold car, the experts at our service center in Maywood suggest that the Acura remote engine start option may be the one for you.

Acura Models with Remote Start in Maywood

Using Acura remote engine start will allow your vehicle to idle and heat up or cool down before you’re out the door. Most Acura models with Advance Packages include remote engine start, so it’s definitely a top-of-the-line feature. If you’re wondering how to use Acura remote start, here are a few tips:

  • When starting your Acura, be sure you’re in range. Your vehicle can be started from within 328 feet.
  • Press the lock button.
  • Press and hold the engine button.

Once you’ve followed those steps, your car should have started. You’ll know it worked when the amber light on your keyfob flashes once when you press the lock button, then blinks when you press and hold the engine button. The green light in the middle will flash once to indicate that your Acura has been started successfully. If your car fails to start, the red light will blink. This may occur if your doors aren’t closed or locked or if your tailgate or hood is open. The remote engine start heats or cools your vehicle at a preset 72 degrees, and when it’s cold your Acura’s defrost function is automatically updated.
