How To Start And Stop A GMC Hybrid Car

GMC hybrid vehicles are innovative machines that combine the power of a gas-burning engine with an electric-power motor to deliver a quieter, cheaper and eco-friendly driving experience. Depending on the hybrid you have, you will enjoy hundreds of miles per charge. For example, the Sierra EV Denali edition, you can get up to 400 miles of range on a single charge.

An expedient feature that comes with GMC hybrids is the remote start and stop feature that allows you turn on your GMC from a distance of up to 195 feet. All you have to is follow the steps highlighted below:

Press the lock button on your GMC key fob

Press and hold the start button for four seconds until you see the headlights of your GMC flash.

Your GMC will automatically turn on and stay on for fifteen minutes

If your GMC does not detect you or anyone else in the driver's seat for fifteen minutes, it will automatically turn back off.

You can also remotely start your hybrid GMC by using the MyGMC app and following the steps highlighted below:

• Go to either Google Play or App store on your phone and download the MyGMC app
• Select your region from the menu and login to your GMC owner's account
• Add your GMC vehicle by entering its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Go back to the home screen, press and hold the power button for four seconds or until you see the headlights flash.
• Just like with your key fob, your GMC will automatically come on and stay on for fifteen minutes. If your GMC does not detect you or anyone else in the driver's seat for fifteen minutes, it will automatically turn back off. The only difference is that you will see a countdown timer that tells you how many more minutes you have before your GMC goes back off.

When your GMC is on and you want to remotely turn it off, you can either:

• Press and hold the start button on your key fob, or
• Press and hold the power button on your MyGMC app.

The engine of your GMC will automatically shut off, the parking lights will go off and all doors will lock.

The remote on and off feature in your GMC is an underrated feature that comes in handy in many situations. For instance, you can turn on your engine from your kitchen and have it warm up while you finish breakfast on a snowy winter morning. What makes it better is how easy it is to switch your GMC back off with your key fob or mobile app if you turn it on by mistake.
