This morning, I remote started the Rav4...10 minutes later is shut off, per normal. I remote started it again (very cold here). 10 minutes later it shut off.

anyways....after the 2nd the remote start doesnt work anymore. I had to go outside put a key in manually, and start it up. After that, the remote start worked again....same deal, after 2 times the remote start stopped working.

Is this some sort of built in security to prevent the remote start from starting 2 times from the remote...sounds weird. This is reproducable everytime.

okay. I checked the manual myself and its normal. It says...

"After 20 minute of total operation, the vehicle must be manually started"

so.. two 10 minute runs = 20 minutes, so its definetly normal..

Its to prevent it from being messed with. A safety, so that it doesn't run all night/day if accidentally pressed. Good feature. I know a person that had a malfunctioning starter (not on a RAV) and the thing would start by itself and burn all the gas in the tank before they would get up in the morning. Great on a Monday!!! :lol:

Later. M.
