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).
