07 Chevy Auto Start

glaus84 · December 12, 2009

My cousin has an 07 chevy with auto start, and was wondering if there is a way to change the time the truck will run. I believe it's set at 7 min. right now.

07 chevy what? Some models can be bumped up by pressing the button multiple times up to 3 or 4 but you can not set any of them that I am aware of. On the ones I am thinking of if one was 7, two would be 14 etc. I wouldn't know unless I know what model you have.

They are set to run for 10mins and only can be auto started 2 times.

Owners manual

Remote Start): Press and release the lock button and then press and hold the remote start button to start the vehicle.

To start the vehicle using the remote start feature, do the following:

Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.

Press and release the transmitter's lock button, then immediately press and hold the transmitter's remote start button until the turn signal lights flash. If you cannot see the vehicle's lights, press and hold the remote start button for at least four seconds. The vehicle's doors will lock. Pressing the remote start button again after the vehicle has started will turn off the ignition.

When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn on and remain on while the vehicle is running.

If it is the first remote start since the vehicle has been driven, repeat these steps, while the engine is still running, to extend the engine running time by 10 minutes. Remote start can be extended one time.

After entering the vehicle during a remote start, insert and turn the key to RUN to drive the vehicle.

If the vehicle is left running it will automatically shut off after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been done.

To manually shut off a remote start, do any of the following:

• Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle and press the remote start button until the parking lamps turn off.

• Turn on the hazards warning flashers.

• Turn the ignition switch on and then off.

The vehicle can be remote started two separate times between driving sequences. The engine will run for 10 minutes after each remote start.

Or, you can extend the engine run time by another 10 minutes within the first 10 minute remote start time frame, and before the engine stops.

For example, if the lock button and then the remote start buttons are pressed again after the vehicle has been running for five minutes, 10 minutes are added, allowing the engine to run for 15 minutes.

The additional ten minutes are considered a second remote vehicle start.

Once two remote starts, or a single remote start with one time extension has been done, the vehicle must be started with the key.

After the key is removed from the ignition, the vehicle can be remote started again.

The vehicle cannot be remote started if the key is in the ignition, the hood is not closed, or if there is an emission control system malfunction.

Also, the engine will turn off during a remote vehicle start if the coolant temperature gets too high or if the oil pressure gets low.

Yeah it's 10 minutes, and then if you push lock and start again, it'll go for another 10 mins. but you can only do that once.

I can't accept the 2 start limit. My cabin is 300 yds across a river from the parking area where we take off on snowmobile from the trucks. 6 miles to a solid stretch of ice then back along river to the cabin. I stay at cabin 4 days but can only remote start my Silverado twice from the cabin then must trek the 24 mile round trip to start with a key before the remote will work again!! My friends can remote start twice each day in the cold weather to make sure batteries stay good. Chev should make the restart option configurable by us owners at least to 6 times. Sometimes at home I remote start but get delayed a couple times before actually leaving and this limitation is a real PAIN in the butt!!
