After exiting the vehicle, lock the system. The vehicle remains running for the 
programmed runtime. (The remote start feature is still enabled).
You can still remote start the vehicle after the turbo timer has timed out and 
shut Off the vehicle. For safety reasons, if a door is opened (while the system 
is Locked or Unlocked) while you are away, the remote start exits the manual 
transmission mode and will not remote start until the MTS sequence is re-
initiated.
➢ Smart start activation
Smart Start uses the hours and cycles settings used in Timer Mode, in addition 
to temperature or voltage, to automatically start the engine. Activation begins 
the countdown timer. When the timer expires the vehicle interior temperature 
is checked and, if it exceeds the temperature or voltage thresholds the engine 
starts. When the Remote start runtime expires the engine shuts off and the 
countdown timer restarts. Smart Start is exited after the final start.
Note: This feature works only when the system has been locked with the 
remote. 
The factory setting for temperature high is 100º, and the low is 0º (F). The 
voltage setting is 10.5v. These settings can be adjusted, or turned off by your 
authorized Directed dealer using the Bitwriter.
