H2 Remote Start Question

[NIK1]

I just tried the extended start by pressing the door lock button then holding the start button on the remote till the headlights flashed and it still shut off after 10 minutes.Maybe the 09 H2 does not have extended auto start. Anyone else with a H2 get it to work.Maybe I am doing it wrong.

It wont work like that. Read this section more closely.
The RVS time may be extended by an additional 10 minutes by again pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the transmitter. This feature is called a RVS continue and allows a maximum of 20 minutes of engine running. If the RVS continue is performed at 7 minutes into the initial 10 minute time-out, a total of 17 minutes of engine running would occur.

This is how I tried to get it to work. I started the truck with the remote,truck started, then I pressed the door lock button, and then I pressed the remote start button. Still it shut off at 10 min.I'm stumped. You mentioned pressing and holding the RVS buttons, my grey H2 key chain has three buttons, unlock doors, lock doors, and the remote start button.

I will try it again today, start truck with remote. After it starts hit the lock button again, now how long do I hold the start button before I let go, maybe I am not holding it long enough.

No. Once you start the truck you can start again for an additional 10 minutes. If you do that procedure before the 10 minute initial start up it will actually shorten the total run time. You can not do a 20 min runtime. You can only extend the run time by 10 minutes if you wait the full 10 minutes and restart. If you do this procedure 5 min into initial startup it will run for 10 minutes more than the original 5 minutes for a total of 15 minutes. There is no way to do a 20 min runtime right from the first start

Ok.That's the way I have been doing it.I thought it could do a 20 min run right off the start. Thanks for all the info and help. Stay warm she's dam cold out.
