Remaining in Ready Mode
Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at wish. However, if
any one of the following events occurs, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode – thus eliminating
the remote start option until Ready Mode is restored:
•
Door opened;
•
Hood opened;
•
Brakes pressed;
•
Parking Brake disengaged;
•
Key turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN)
position.
Should any of the above occur, Ready Mode will be cancelled.
Note:
The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving three slow flashes
of the vehicle’s Parking Lights.
Remote-Starting
Press the
START/STOP
button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON, informing
you that the unit has received your signal. Approx. 5 seconds later, the engine will start. The
Parking Lights will remain ON during the pre-programmed run time.
If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds, and
try to start the engine again. It will try to start the engine 3 times before giving up.
Vehicle Presets
Heater and Heated Seat
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, as well as
heated seats (if equipped) should not be left on
HIGH
. It is recommended to leave the settings
on
LOW
or
MEDIUM
instead.
Windshield Wipers, Radio and Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to
become energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must
ensure that the windshield wiper and headlight switches are
OFF

switch
ON
on certain types of vehicles could cause them to remain
ON
even after the remote
starter shuts down, resulting in a dead battery.
