How-To: 2013 Chevrolet Equinox Remote Start
The 2013 Chevy Equinox may or may not be equipped with this feature, which allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle.
The best way to determine whether or not a vehicle is equipped with Remote Start or not is to look at the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (key fob) and look for the remote start button, which looks like a semi-complete circle (see image above).
Starting The Engine Using Remote Start
To start the engine using the remote start feature:
- Press and release lock button on the RKE transmitter
- Immediately press and hold the remote start button for at least two seconds or until the turn signal lamps flash. The turn signal lamps flashing confirms the request to remote start the vehicle has been received. The parking lamps will turn on and remain on as long as the engine is running. The vehicle’s doors will be locked.
- The key must be inserted and turned to ON/RUN before driving. The engine will shut off after10 minutes unless a time extension is done or the key is inserted and turned to ON/RUN.
Shutting The Engine Off After A Remote Start
To shut off the engine: Press until the parking lamps turn off.. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.. Insert the key and turn it to ON/RUN and then back to LOCK/OFF.
Conditions In Which Remote Start Will Not Work
The remote vehicle start feature will not operate if:
- The key is in the ignition
- The hood or doors are not closed
- The hazard warning flashers are on
- There is an emission control system malfunction
- The engine coolant temperatures too high
- The oil pressure is low
- Two remote vehicle starts have already been used
- The vehicle is not in P (Park)
Remote Start Ready
If the vehicle does not have the remote vehicle start feature, it may have the remote start ready feature. This feature allows a dealer to add the manufacturer’s remote vehicle start feature. See your dealer to add the manufacturer’s remote vehicle start feature to the vehicle.
Remote Start Notes
- The climate control system will use the previous settings during a remote start. The rear defogs may come on during remote start based on cold ambient conditions. The rear defog indicator light does not come on during remote start.
- If the vehicle has heated seats, they may come on during a remote start. See Heated Front Seats on page 3‑8 for more information. Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of remote starters. For example, some laws require a person using remote start to have the vehicle in view. Check local regulations for any requirements. There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter.
My dad had his 2013 chev equinox parted in the garage today, and heard the horn go off, one he open the garage door the car started on its own,. The remote keys were in the bed room and he was in the living room. This is a real safety issue due to carbon monoxide issues. How does a car start and run on its own? The battery has been replaced since they purchased the vehicle.

Remote start is NOT efficient for me in this GM car. It was supposed to be a beautiful think but it is not. It starts the engine, not the inside of the car. Why else would I want a remote start? .This was dumb and biggest reason my 2019 Chevy is such a disappointment. My car is outside and because I cannot heat the inside, my door locks freeze as do my doors when extreme cold occurs. The whole idea was to get in a warm car.. not waste gas for nothing.
You know you have to go into the settings and change what comes on, right? The cars not stupid for not doing what you’re supposed to set it to do! Yikes!

Remote start is the easiest option but it is also a risky to keep push-start cars because if the remote will be lost then it will be difficult to open it and apart from this its remote is expensive too.
My remote in my 2019 chevy equinox is such a disappointment. I have had one in my past Subarus over last many years so I could get in a warm car that I park outside in upstate NY. But this one, even though I leave the heat and fan setting on so the car will be warm inside when I get in, it does not do this. The remote starts the engine only (and sometimes that doesn’t work either.) Not only that, my door locks freeze. What is the point of starting the engine but not warm the inside of the car???? What a waste of gas if it doesn’t do the job it should do. Why else would I want a remote start? What were the makers of this car thinking? Not only that, on extreme cold days, the doors freeze and cannot be open-locks don’t work then. I am disappointed and question if I should ever get another GM. I have doubts if electric cars will be any better. If anything I’d probably get a hybrid. I don’t think this country is ready for all EV cars yet and the govm’t shouldn’t be pressing the issue not until a charge goes 350 to 400 miles on one charge and there are stations at all gas stations that don’t take longer than 10 minutes to fully charge a car. Otherwise I wouldn’t trust taking a long trip with an all EV.
