It seems like a common problem – your car starts right up, but you can’t get it to drive out of the garage. It turns out that there’s a good chance that your remote start system is not working correctly. In this article, we’ll show you how to troubleshoot and fix common remote start problems.
What is a Remote Start?
Remote start is a technology that allows you to start your car from a distance by using your cellular phone as a remote control.
When you initiate a remote start, the car’s engine will turn on and warm up, but it will not actually start. This process is called “pre-warming.”
Once the car is pre-warmed, you can use your cellular phone to remotely drive the car into gear and begin your journey.
There are a few things you’ll need in order to make this work:
1) A cellular phone that supports remote start
2) A compatible car
3) A remote start enabled vehicle service subscription
What Are the Benefits of a Remote Start?
Remote starting your car has many benefits, including reducing your carbon footprint and providing peace of mind. Here are five reasons why you should consider using a remote start on your car.
1. It conserves energy. Driving to work in the morning consumes a lot of gas, both because you’re using your engine to get there and because the car is sitting in traffic all day. A remote start reduces your reliance on gasoline, which means you’re less likely to run out of fuel at the worst possible time.
2. It cuts down on emissions. When you start your car with the remote, you’re not running the engine unnecessarily. This saves gas and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, making it a green choice for your commute.
3. It’s eco-friendly. If you have a regular job that leaves you parked at work all day, a remote start can be a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Not only does it conserve fuel, but it also keeps the car off the road when it’s not being used.
4. It saves time. Remote starts are much faster than traditional starts, so you save time in both getting to work.
