It is in your Owner Manual.

Lock, Lock, RS

If your fob does not have the RS button Lock, Lock+Panic.

It does have that button. I did start once a few months ago but now I can't.
Haven't seen ur advice - Lock-Lock-RS.
Is it possible to STOP the engine remotely?
Thanks!

It only runs for 10-15 minutes.
It may have been turned off in the DIC personalization menu.
Maybe your hood latch switch is bad
Maybe there is some OBD code active

The reason for the double lock is to ensure all doors are locked then the combo of Lock then RS is the actual command.

I meant I wanted to try to start the engine from my apartment but didn't want to come out and shut it down. That's why I asked if it is possible to do it remotely(to stop).
There are no OBD codes.
What is the DIC personalization menu? Where is it?

We here call it the owners manual. If you don't have one then see post #4. There you will find a link.

DIC Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle has personalization capabilities that allow you to program certain features to a preferred setting. All of the features listed may not be available on your vehicle. Only the features available will be displayed on the DIC. The default settings for the features were set when your vehicle left the factory, but may have been changed from their default state since that time.
To change feature settings, use the following procedure:


The rest of the info is covered in the Owners Manual.
Jay23. As it was mentioned to you in some of your earlier threads, read the owners manual. Don't have one, use the link to download one.

Have you cleaned the contacts inside the fob? Could just be that...
