Remote Engine Start (EX, Touring)

What’s the Benefit?

The Insight’s remote engine-start system provides a sophisticated level of additional comfort.

The Feature:

Imagine being able to start your Insight before you get in, so it’ll already be cooled off inside on a hot day—or warmed up and defrosted on a cold one.

• Remote engine start works when you’re within about 100 feet of the vehicle.
• Just push the LOCK button on the remote and then push and hold the ENGINE START button for at least a second—the starter will fire up the engine, and the automatic climate-control system will begin conditioning the interior to a temperature of 72º F.
• When you reach the car with the remote in your possession, you can enter the car as normal—the engine will keep running.
• To drive, step on the brake pedal and push the POWER button once.
• The instruments will illuminate, and you’ll be ready to go.
