How to Determine if Your Chevy Has Remote Start
If you’re unsure whether your Chevy vehicle has remote start capabilities, there are a few ways to check:
1. Check the Key Fob or MyChevrolet App: Look for a remote-start button shaped like a curved arrow on your key fob. This button is typically located right below the lock and unlock buttons. If you see this button, then your vehicle has remote start capabilities.
2. MyChevrolet App: You can also check for remote start capabilities through the MyChevrolet app. The app provides access to remote start functions, allowing you to warm or cool your vehicle’s cabin before entry, making it comfortable when you get in.
3. Consult with a Chevy Dealer: If you’re still uncertain about whether your vehicle has remote start, you can consult with your nearest Chevy dealer to find out which models have this feature.
Remember, remote start can be a convenient feature for warming up or cooling down your vehicle before you enter, especially in extreme weather conditions.
