Getting Ready to Use Remote Start
Before you press any buttons, make sure your Jetour T2 is ready. This helps everything go smoothly. It also keeps you and others safe.
Check Your T2's Setup First
Before you try to remote start your Jetour T2, follow these important safety tips:
Park Safely: Make sure your Jetour T2 is parked completely. It should be on a flat, level surface. Never use the remote start feature in a garage or any closed space. This is because engine fumes can be very dangerous. Ensure there's plenty of space around the car for engine warm-up.
Locked Doors: All the doors on your Jetour T2 must be fully locked. You can use your key fob to lock them. Or you can use the button inside the car. This is a safety measure. The Jetour T2 remote start system needs the car to be secure before it will work.
Key Fob Range: You need to be close enough to your Jetour T2. Your key fob sends a signal. This signal works best when nothing is blocking it. Try to point your key fob directly at your car. You will experience the best range in an open parking lot. Walls or other vehicles can block the signal.
How Your Key Fob Works for This
Your Jetour T2 key fob is very smart. It has special buttons for the remote start feature. Look for these icons on your remote control:
The Lock Button: This button usually has a picture of a closed padlock. You will use this first. Pressing it locks your Jetour T2.
The Remote Start Button: This button typically shows a circular arrow icon. This is the main button for automatic starting. If you are not sure, check your owner’s manual. It will show you the exact layout of your specific key fob.
Steps to Start Your T2 Remotely
Using your Jetour T2 key fob is the most common way to remote start. It's very simple. Just follow these steps:
Press Lock: First, quickly press the "Lock" button on your key fob. Press it firmly once. You should see the vehicle's lights flash. This confirms that your Jetour T2 is now locked and ready.
Press & Hold Start: Right after pressing "Lock", immediately press and hold the "Remote Start" button. Keep holding it down. You typically need to hold it for about 2 to 4 seconds. Don't just press it quickly.
Watch for Confirmation: Your Jetour T2 will let you know it is starting. Look for these signs:
The vehicle's lights will flash a few more times.
You should hear the engine turn over. Then the Jetour T2 engine will start running.
The parking lights will stay on while the engine is running remotely. This is a clear sign that the remote start system is active.
Important Safety Points You Should Know
The Jetour T2 remote start system has many safety features built in. These features protect you and your car:
⚠Engine Run Time: Your Jetour T2 will run for a set amount of time. Usually, the engine will run for about 15 to 20 minutes. After this time, it will shut off by itself. This feature saves fuel. It also helps reduce emissions. It's a smart way to prevent the engine from running too long if you forget about it.
⚠Driver Must Be Present: You must be inside the car and ready to drive for the car to stay on. If you open a door after remote starting the car, the engine will stop. Before you drive away, you need to press the brake pedal. Then, push the start/stop button inside the car. Make sure your key fob is with you inside the Jetour T2. This is a key Jetour T2 safety feature.
⚠Cancel Remote Start Early: You can turn off the remote start at any time. If your plans change, or you want to save fuel, simply press the "Remote Start" button again. Hold it down briefly until the parking lights turn off. This will safely shut down the engine.
When Remote Start Doesn't Work
Sometimes, the engine might not start using the remote start feature. Don't worry, there are usually simple fixes. Here are common reasons and what to do:
Key Fob Battery: A weak battery in your key fob is the most common reason the remote start fails. If your battery is old or low, the signal might not be strong enough. Consider getting it replaced at a local car service center. You can often do it yourself too.
Range: You might be too far away. Or something might be blocking the signal. This could be buildings, other cars, or even bad weather. Try moving closer to your Jetour T2. Make sure nothing heavy is between you and the car. Obstacles can really affect the signal strength.
Hood Not Closed: The Jetour T2 has a safety sensor under the hood. If the hood is not fully closed and latched, the remote start system will not work. This is to protect the engine. Make sure the hood is securely shut.
Issue Lights: Check your Jetour T2's dashboard display. Are there any warning messages? For example, a low fuel warning or a check engine light can stop the remote start from working. Make sure your fuel tank is not nearly empty.
System Reset: Sometimes, a quick reset can help. Try unlocking your Jetour T2 with the fob. Then, lock it again. After doing this, attempt the remote start sequence once more. This can clear minor electronic glitches.
Using the Jetour App (If available)
Some Jetour T2 models or versions sold in certain markets might have a special vehicle app. This app lets you control car features from your smartphone. It adds another layer of car comfort features.
The same safety checks apply. Your Jetour T2 must be parked, locked, and have its hood down.
Open the approved Jetour app on your linked smartphone. This is like having a digital car key in your hand.
Find and tap the "Remote Start" function inside the app. The app often shows the car's status.
Make sure your phone has a strong network connection. The app uses your phone's internet to talk to your car. A weak signal can stop the command from working.
FAQ
Here are answers to common questions about remote starting your Jetour T2:
Q:Why did my remote start turn off the wipers?
A:This is usually a smart safety feature. When your Jetour T2 goes into remote start mode, it checks things like the wiper control stick. If your wipers were left on (especially in the 'AUTO' rain-sensing position), the system might disable them. This prevents them from starting unexpectedly. Imagine if it suddenly rained and your wipers were set to high speed, without anyone in the car. To fix this, make sure your wiper stick is in the 'OFF' position before you leave the car.
Q:My Jetour T2 remote start didn’t start? What’s wrong?
A:If your Jetour T2 doesn't start, here are the main things to check:
First, is the vehicle hood securely closed? The hood sensor needs to confirm it's down.
Second, check your fuel level. Is it very low? Some cars won't remote start if fuel is too low.
Third, make sure your Jetour T2 is completely in 'Park'. The car system checks this.
Fourth, and most common, is your key fob battery getting weak? This is a very frequent reason for remote start issues. Try replacing the battery. Also, always make sure all doors are definitely locked before trying the sequence.
Q:How many minutes does remote start work before it stops?
A:The Jetour T2 remote system will run the engine for a limited time. This period is typically between 15 and 20 minutes. This is a built-in safety and efficiency feature. It saves fuel and reduces emissions. It also ensures the engine doesn't run indefinitely if you forget about it. You can end it earlier by pressing the remote start button again. Keep holding it briefly until the parking lights turn off.
Q:How far can I be from my T2 for the remote start to work?
A:The distance your key fob works from can change a lot. Many things affect the fob range. Things like obstacles (buildings, other cars), local radio interference, and how strong your key fob battery is play a big part. Generally, you can expect it to work within about 100 feet. This is usually true in open parking spaces where you have a direct view of your Jetour T2. Walls, metal structures, and other electronic signals can reduce this range. Just have a realistic idea of what to expect based on your surroundings.
