How Do I Remote Start My Chevrolet Silverado?
Remote start is one of the most convenient features of the Chevrolet Silverado, allowing you to start your truck from a distance and have it warmed up or cooled down before you even step inside. Whether you’re dealing with cold winter mornings or hot summer days, remote start ensures a comfortable ride from the moment you get in. At Smith Chevy of Lowell, we want to help you make the most of your Silverado’s advanced features, so here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use remote start.
How to Use Remote Start on Your Chevrolet Silverado
If your Chevy Silverado is equipped with remote start, using it is simple:
- Lock your truck – Press the lock button on your key fob once.
- Press and hold the remote start button – This button has a circular arrow icon. Hold it for about 4 seconds.
- Wait for the engine to start – Your Silverado’s parking lights will flash, and the engine will turn on.
- Get in and drive – When you’re ready, unlock your truck, press the brake, and push the start button (or insert the key, depending on your model).
Note: The engine will run for 15 minutes before automatically shutting off if you don’t enter the vehicle. You can repeat the process once for an additional 15 minutes of run time.
Does My Silverado Have Remote Start?

- Silverado 1500 LTZ & High Country
- Silverado 2500HD & 3500HD LTZ & High Country
