How to use the Factory Remote Start

Impala 2006 – 2012 models

If your key FOB has a “circle arrow” button at the top (see image), your Impala is likely equipped with a factory installed remote start! Here’s how to use it:

  1. Lock or re-lock your car using the FOB.
  2. Immediately press and hold the circle arrow button for 5 seconds.
  3. You’ll notice the front and rear blinkers blink twice, in a few moments your Impala will be running!
  4. When you’re ready to drive, simply put the key in the ignition and turn it to the “On” position.

NOTE: Even if your Impala has been sitting locked in the parking lot all day, you must re-lock it for remote start to work!

NOTE: If you don’t put the key in the ignition (step 4), your Impala will stop running after 10 minutes.

NOTE: Your air condition or heating will run on high until your put your key in the ignition (step 4).

      No Idea what that means, but when I first tried it, it didn’t work. Then one day when I was messing around and looking at the options in the checklist setting thing, I came across a “Remote Start” option and saw that it was OFF.
      Once I changed that to ON I found that the steps here actually worked

        Couldn’t get mine to work either, then a friend told me if your check engine light is on it won’t work.
