Other Remote Start Features (cont’d) Turbo Timer Feature It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines allow the engine to idle after driving to cool the turbocharger. When Installer Programmable Feature #10 is ON, the system will automatically keep the engine running as follows: • With the engine running, hold the brake pedal and engage the parking brake.
Security System Features (cont’d) Automatic Rearming This automatically rearms the alarm if the system is disarmed from the remote (see user feature #10). When disarmed by remote, the system will start a 90 second countdown (fast flashing status light) to arm the system. This is useful if the controller accidentally disarms the system when it’s kept in a purse or pocket where other items could potentially press the buttons.
Using The Valet Switch Emergency Override If you were to lose or break your controller, you’d need to perform an emergency override to disarm the system and use your vehicle. To do so, use the following steps: STEP 1 - Enter the vehicle (the alarm should sound). STEP 2 - Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. STEP 3 - Press the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna) once. NOTE: Enter your SecureCode at this time if programmed via user feature #13 STEP 4 - Turn the ignition key “OFF”.
The Status Light The status lights, located in the window-mount antenna, provide a visual indication of the system’s status. SECURITY SYSTEM STATUS OFF: The alarm is disarmed and not performing any automatic functions. ON: The alarm is in valet mode. FLASHING SLOW: The alarm is armed and monitoring all entry points. FLASHING FAST: One of the automatic arming features is in progress.
Multi-Car Operation The controller can operate up to 2 different systems. When controlling 2 systems, it will receive all status updates on the currently selected vehicle profile and will receive only trigger alerts for the 2nd vehicle. You can switch from one car to the other at anytime. Use the following steps to change vehicles. Selecting CAR #1 or CAR #2 Vehicle #1: Press the “P” and “LOCK” buttons for 1 second to select Car #1.
Controller Options (cont’d) Changing remote start melodies The controller has 5 different melodies to choose from for remote start ON and 5 melodies for remote start OFF confirmation. 1) Press the “P” button for 5 seconds to access the controller features. The controller will beep twice. 2) Press and release the “P“ button 3 times to select the melody settings. The clock will change to “01 STRT” indicating “start melody #1” for the remote start ON melody.
Anti-Carjacking Protection The system is equipped with two separate Anti-Carjacking protection features (ignition, open door, or both). All are programmable, and must be turned on to operate. Once activated, the user has 60 seconds to cancel the Anti-Carjacking protection process (described below). If Anti-Carjacking is not cancelled, 53 seconds after being activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the user that the system is about to enter into an alarm condition.
Programming Controllers/Transmitters Standard Programming: Using this method to program additional or replacement transmitters does not turn on or otherwise affect the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert (UTA) feature. Before you begin, have all transmitters which are to operate the system at hand and make sure the correct vehicle profile (see page 12) is selected on the controller(s). Step 1 Then, turn the ignition “on”. Step 2 Within 5 seconds of Step 1, press the Valet Switch 5 times.
User Programmable Features Feature #1 - Remote Start Run Time 10 Minutes (press “lock” button to program) - DEFAULT 5 Minutes (press “unlock” button to program) 15 Minutes (press “trunk” button to program) 20 Minutes (press “start” to program) This sets the maximum amount of time that the remote start will keep the engine running if it is not shut down by other methods.
User Programmable Features (cont’d) Feature #7 - Unlock w/ Trunk Release On (press “lock” button to program) - DEFAULT Off (press “unlock” button to program) “2nd channel” is most commonly used for trunk release, in which case the alarm should also disarm. This feature, when on, configures the system to unlock/disarm when the 2nd channel is activated.
User Programmable Features (cont’d) Feature #13 - SecureCode DEFAULT - 1 Press SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to select the number of Valet Switch presses in two stages, instead of “1 press”, which would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override. If any of the three anti-carjacking features are utilized, a customized SecureCode would also be required to turn it off once it is fully activated. SecureCode operation is described on page 10.
