How to extend remote start time on Honda?

If you own a Honda vehicle with a remote start feature, you may want to extend the default remote start time to keep your car running for longer. This guide will walk you through the steps to extend the remote start time on your Honda.


Extending Remote Start Time on Honda Vehicles


The standard remote start duration on most Honda vehicles is 10 minutes. However, you can easily extend this time to up to 20 minutes by following these steps:



  • Locate the remote start button on your Honda key fob. It's usually a button with a car icon.

  • Press and hold the remote start button for about 4 seconds until the lights on your car flash twice.

  • This indicates that the remote start time has been extended to 20 minutes.

  • To revert back to the default 10-minute remote start time, repeat the process and the lights will flash once.


It's important to note that the remote start feature is designed to provide a comfortable cabin temperature before you enter the vehicle. Extending the remote start time can help ensure your car is sufficiently heated or cooled, depending on the weather conditions.


Additional Tips for Remote Start on Honda


Here are a few additional tips to keep in mind when using the remote start feature on your Honda:



  • Make sure your Honda is in park and the parking brake is engaged before using remote start.

  • The remote start feature will automatically shut off if you open the door or press the brake pedal.

  • Some Honda models may have additional remote start settings or options available in the vehicle's infotainment system.

  • Consult your Honda owner's manual for more detailed information on the remote start functionality and customization options for your specific model.


By following these steps, you can easily extend the remote start time on your Honda to better suit your needs and ensure your vehicle is at the perfect temperature when you're ready to hit the road.
