Which Honda Vehicles Have Remote Start?
Whether you live in a cold, snowy climate or a hot and humid climate — there’s one feature that can be invaluable in terms of your comfort and driving enjoyment. Remote start is now one of the most desirable options available on new cars. It’s the perfect solution for cooling your car down on a hot summer day or warming up on a frigid winter morning.

How Does Remote Start Work?
This feature is designed to start the engine while you are away from the vehicle without using the ignition key. On models equipped with automatic climate control, the remote start system can operate the air conditioning and heating automatically based on the temperature outside. For your convenience, remote start systems can be activated from a range of up to 400 feet. Depending on the year and model, your climate control can automatically activate and set itself to 72 degrees.
How to Use Remote Start
Starting the Engine
- Press the Lock button, then press and hold the Engine button within 5 seconds to remotely start the engine.
- The engine runs for up to 10 minutes. To extend the run time for another 10 minutes, repeat the procedure during the initial 10 minutes.
- While the engine is running, the climate control system adjusts the cabin temperature, the security system remains on, and lights and accessories remain off.
Stopping the Engine
- Press and hold the Engine button
- The engine will also stop if it has been running for more than 10 minutes, or if any door is open without using the remote or smart entry.
Things to Remember While Using Your Remote Start
- Never use the remote starter with the car parked in a garage or other areas with limited ventilation.
- Do not start the engine with the remote starter before removing a car cover. The engine and exhaust heat can cause a fire.
- Do not start the engine with the remote starter near flammable material such as grease, oil, wood, paper, dead grass, etc.
