Vehicle Presets
Heater
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in
preparation for the next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front
and rear, should not be left on
HIGH
. It is recommended to leave the settings on
LOW
or
MEDIUM
instead.
Windshield Wipers, Radio & Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wipers and / or headlights
circuits to become energized while running under remote start. When leaving the
vehicle you must ensure that the windshield wipers and headlights switches are
OFF
. Leaving the headlights switch
ON
on certain types of vehicles could cause
them to remain
ON
even after remote starter shutdown, resulting in a dead
battery.
Arming and disarming the Starter Kill
This added security feature will prevent the vehicle from starting with the Ignition
key when the starter kill is armed. If the system was installed with the starter kill
option, you will not be able to start the vehicle with the key unless the system has
been unlocked first or put into
Valet
mode (page 14).
Note:
If the Starter Kill is installed, the vehicle will benefit from a protection
against starter motor damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine
should the user, by force of habit, turn the ignition key to the
CRANK
position.
The Starter Kill (if installed) can be configured by the installer either to
Passive
mode (so as to arm automatically) or
Active
mode
(so as to require the user’s
intervention for arming). By default, your Remote Car Starter is configured to
Passive
mode.
