RAM 2500 Truck 4WD L6-6.7L DSL Turbo VIN A (2007)
Keyless Starting System: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION - REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
The Remote Starting System allows the vehicle to be started up to 300 feet (91 meters) away from the vehicle using the remote keyless entry key fob
which is part of your ignition key. In order to remote start your vehicle, the hood, liftgate, and all of the doors must be closed. To remotely start your
vehicle, press the "Lock" button on the key fob once, then within three seconds press the "Remote Start" button twice. To indicate that the vehicle is
about to start, the parking lights will flash and the horn will sound briefly. Once the vehicle has started, the engine will run for 15 minutes. To cancel
remote start, press the "Remote Start" button twice within two seconds. To enter the vehicle while the engine is running during a remote start, you must
first unlock the vehicle using the "Unlock" button on the key fob. After the vehicle is unlocked, you have 60 seconds to enter the vehicle, insert the key
into the ignition, and move it to the RUN position. Otherwise, the engine will cancel remote start and automatically turn off. Remote start will also cancel
if any of the following occur:
-
If the engine stalls or RPM exceeds 2500.
-
Any engine warning lamps come on.
-
The hood is opened.
-
The hazard switch is pressed.
-
The transmission is moved out of P (Park).
The vehicle can be started remotely up to a maximum of two times. The vehicle is also allowed a maximum of one failed start, where the remote start
sequence was initiated but cancelled before the engine begins to crank. After either of these conditions, or if the Vehicle Theft Alarm is alarming, or if
the PANIC button was pressed, the vehicle must be reset by inserting a valid key into the ignition and moving it to the RUN position, then back to
LOCK.
