REMOTE ENGINE STARTING – UNSUCCESSFUL START
In the event that the engine does not start on the first attempt, the system shuts down for a few seconds, then
attempts to restart the engine a 2
nd
and 3
rd
time. For hard starting engines, the unit will allow a starter crank time of
up to 4 seconds maximum. This should provide ample cranking time for difficult starts, but is limited to 4 seconds to
help prevent damage to the starter from over cranking.
1) If engine starts on 2
nd
or 3
rd
attempt, see steps 3 & 4 of “Successful Start” on page 4.
2) If Third attempt fails to start engine, the system will turn off and doors will remain locked.

RUN TIME RESET
:
The Remote Start Run Time is adjustable from 5 to 30 minutes (option # 20). Some local cities
have a run time limit for unattended vehicle. You can now reset the engine-run timer to allow for more running
time after remote start has already occurred using the remote control. After a successful remote start, press
both the Lock & Unlock buttons together for at least 2 seconds. The parking lights will flash 3 times and
internal engine timer will reset back to zero minutes.

Option # 8 controls whether the system will automatically lock during and after a remote Start abort or time-out. This
feature can be turned OFF. The default is Lock with Remote Start.
