Engine Run Time
Use this Function to configure the length of time the Engine will be left running under remote
control. The Remote Car Starter will allow the Engine to run for either
4, 15 or 25
min. in Gas Mode
and
9, 20 or 30
min. in Diesel Mode. Standard default Run Time is 15 minutes in Gas mode and 20
minutes in Diesel mode.
Starter Kill (Installation)
The Remote Car Starter is equipped with a selectable
Passive
or
Active-arming Starter Kill
circuit that will prevent the vehicle from being started with the Ignition Key when the Remote Car
Starter is armed. The Starter Kill wire will provide a constant 500-mA. negative output when the
system is
armed
(locked by remote control) and can be connected to an external Starter or Ignition
interrupt relay (see diagram below). The Starter Kill circuit can be set to arm in either
Passive
Mode
or
Active Mode
Caution!!!
When installing the Starter Kill, it is extremely important that pin 86 be wired to Ignition: do not
jump it to pin 30 (damage to the vehicle could result).
Note:
Installation of the Starter Kill system requires an external relay.
(Not included!)
Passive or Active Arming
The Remote Car Starter can be set to:
•
Active Arming
: the Starter Kill will
not
arm automatically. Press the
LOCK
button to
arm and the
UNLOCK
button to disarm it.
•
Passive Arming:
the Starter Kill will arm automatically if it is not armed by remote
within a 60-sec. delay. Press
UNLOCK
to disarm.
•
Passive Arming
with 3-minute timeout: the Starter Kill will arm automatically after
3 minutes.
Resetting the Remote Car Starter
The Remote Car Starter is equipped with a reset function that allows the installer to erase all
Transmitter codes from memory and return all the Programming Options to the factory default
values. Resetting the Remote Car Starter is not a required process. Most of the time, you can
avoid resetting by fixing the issue directly at the root of the cause.

Flash the Hood Pin switch (see Table 1)
– Once inside Programming Mode, you have 10 seconds to complete the next step.

Programming Mode).

Brake Pedal is pressed while the Ignition Key is
not
in the

position: you will need
therefore to hot-wire the Brake Pedal by manually jumping 12 V with a fused test lead at the Brake
Pedal switch.
