Interfacing with factory theft deterrent devices
If your vehicle has a factory-installed theft deterrent device, the Smart Remote
Starter III can make it a full-fledged remote controlled car alarm, arming the device
every time you remotely lock the doors and disarming every time you remotely
unlock. Ask your system installer for details.
AutoLock and AutoUnLock (user-selectable)
For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors automatically lock when you
begin driving at about 15-20mph, and automatically unlock when you turn the ignition
off. To suit your preferences, you may turn off either or both the AutoLock and/or
AutoUnLock features. There are four possibilities: AutoLock “on” while
AutoUnLock is “off,” or vice-versa. The other two combinations are both
AutoLock and AutoUnLock “on” or both “off.” As set from the factory, both
features are on. To change the status of one or both features, see the User-selectable
features section on page 13.
Fault-proof starter Interrupt
When you remotely lock the doors, your Smart Remote Starter III engages its starter
interrupt circuit that prevents a thief from cranking the engine’s starter even if he
has a duplicate of your car key. Whenever you see the LED flashing on the system’s
PlainView switch, the starter interrupt is engaged and protecting your vehicle.
AutoActivation of the starter interrupt (user-selectable)
Smart Remote Starter III will protect your vehicle even if you forget to remotely
lock the doors (and thus activate the starter interrupt). Thirty seconds after you park
your car, exit and shut all the doors, the Smart Remote Starter III will automatically
(“passively”) activate the starter interrupt (if a door is re-opened during the
30-second countdown, the countdown will resume from the start once all doors are
closed). To provide visual confirmation, the system will flash the dashboard LED
twice 5 seconds after you close the doors to signal the start of the 30-second
countdown. To clear the starter interrupt, just press button 1 on your remote control.
If you prefer, you may turn off the starter interrupt autoactivation feature (see
User-selectable features on page 13). Also see the UltraSecure coded valet mode
section on page 10 for information on temporarily overriding autoactivation.
AutoActivation of the door locks (user-selectable)
If you wish, you may set the system to automatically lock the doors every time it
AutoActivates the starter interrupt. To ensure that you can’t accidentally lock your
key and remote inside the vehicle, this feature is factory set off. To enable this
feature, see the User-selectable features section on page 13.
