How Do I Remote Start a Pontiac G6?

The Pontiac G6, which was introduced in 2003 as the newer version of the Grand Am, features a number of the same technologies and capabilities as its predecessor. Among these are the ability to remote start your car from within your house or even a couple hundred feet away, in a cold or snowy parking lot. Remote starting the car can be done in 10-minute increments, allowing for extra safety and convenience.

  • Make sure you car is off and the keys are out of the ignition. Press and release the "Lock" button on your remote starter.

  • Wait for the locks to cycle and press and hold the "Start" button on your remote until the car's lights flash and the engine starts. At this point, the engine will run for 10 minutes on its own.

  • Press the "Lock" button again and press and hold the "Start" button after 10 minutes to start the engine for a second time. You can also enter your car with your ignition key and turn the car on manually while the automatic starter is running or after it has turned off.

  • Press the "Lock" button on your remote while the automatic starter is still running and press and hold the "Start" button again to turn the engine off before 10 minutes elapse.
