safety features This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components. ➜ starter anti-grind circuitry Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.
➜ over and under rev protection The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically shut the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may cause the engine to race. note: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle to sense engine speed. This wire must be connected in order for over and under rev protection to work.

(Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.) note: When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point that has been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system. However, the remaining inputs to the system are fully operational.
Domelight Supervision: This domelight will illuminate for 30 seconds each time the system is unlocked using the 2-way remote. This is useful for seeing inside the vehicle at night prior to entering it. Power Locks: This system offers lock outputs that can control some manufacturers' power door lock systems. For other systems, additional parts may be required. Power Trunk Release: The accessory output of the system can op- erate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch.
