How to remote start Bolt with key fob?
If you own a Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle, you can use the key fob to remotely start your car. This allows you to warm up the cabin or cool it down before you get in, making your drive more comfortable. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to remote start your Bolt using the key fob.
Steps to Remote Start Your Bolt
- Make sure your Bolt is in park and the parking brake is engaged.
- Press and hold the lock button on your key fob for about 2-3 seconds until the turn signal lights flash.
- Release the lock button, then immediately press and hold the remote start button on the key fob for about 2-3 seconds.
- The Bolt's engine will start, and the turn signal lights will flash again to confirm the remote start.
The remote start feature allows you to pre-condition the cabin temperature before you get in the car, making your drive more comfortable. The engine will run for a preset time (usually around 10 minutes) and then automatically shut off, unless you get in the car and put it in gear.
Tips for Using Remote Start
- Check the range: The remote start feature has a limited range, typically around 200 feet. Make sure you're within range of the vehicle when using the key fob.
- Avoid remote starting in enclosed spaces: Never remote start your Bolt in a garage or other enclosed area, as the exhaust fumes can be dangerous.
- Monitor the battery level: Remote starting your Bolt will drain the battery, so be mindful of the battery level and avoid excessive use of the feature.
- Customize the settings: You can adjust the remote start duration and other settings through the vehicle's infotainment system or the myChevrolet mobile app.
By following these steps and tips, you can easily remote start your Chevrolet Bolt using the key fob, ensuring a comfortable and convenient driving experience.
