Wait for your Kicks to turn on. That’s it!
Your Kicks will remain running for up to 10 minutes—after that, the engine will automatically shut off. The climate control inside the car will stay at the temperature you last set it at, so be sure to keep this in mind the night before.
It could not be easier! If you fired up for Kicks’ engine but then decided to stay inside and take a sick day, the engine will eventually turn itself off, so no need to go outside and shut it off manually. That would defeat the purpose.
