While remote start may be convenient, it’s important to use this command safely. Below are some useful safety considerations to keep in mind while using remote start.

First, always make sure your car is in a well-ventilated area (like outside) before activating remote start. Remote starting a vehicle parked in a garage, for example, could lead to a dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide chemicals.

Make sure there’s no car cover on your car before activating remote start. A car cover is a potential fire hazard.

On that note, make sure your car is parked far away from any and all flammable objects. If your car is parked near grease, oil, leaves, or dead grass, move your car to a safe area before activating remote start.

Key Takeaway Before utilizing your Infiniti’s remote start capability, make sure your car is parked in a well-ventilated area and away from flammable objects.
