option, one will not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked
and disarmed first, or put into Valet Mode.
Note: If the Starter Kill is installed, your 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.
Flashing LED
The user may decide to turn on or off LED flashing at any moment. To do so, simultaneously press
the
TRUNK
and
LOCK
buttons on the transmitter:
•
Flashing LED
ON
: the L.E.D. will flash at all times (either under active arming or under passive
arming) to indicate that the Starter Kill is active.
•
Active Arming: the LED will flash normally.
•
Passive Arming: the LED will flash at a faster rate during the countdown preceding the
activation of the Starter Kill. Once the Remote Car Starter
is armed, the LED will flash at a slower rate.
•
In Valet Mode: the LED will remain lit without flashing.
•
Flashing LED
OFF
: the LED will not flash even when the unit is armed (either under active or
passive arming). Nevertheless, if the unit enters Valet Mode, the LED will still remain lit without
flashing as long as the ignition is off.
Safe Start
If this feature is enabled, the user must press the
START
button 2 times within 3 seconds to remote-
start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing with the
transmitter.
If Swap Start Mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle press
LOCK
and
UNLOCK
simultaneously. The
AUX 2
output can be activated by pressing the
START
button.
Ignition-controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Ignition-
Controlled Door Locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is
turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN)
position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the
OFF
position, the doors will automatically be unlocked.
Ignition Re-lock
On Remote Car Starters of this series, when Ignition-controlled Door Locks are enabled and the
ignition key is in the
IGNITION ON (RUN)
position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors
will be relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed.
Secure Lock
Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the Remote Car Starter must first disarm the factory
security system. The Secure Lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory
security systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed. To
keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start,
Secure Lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle
ends, Secure Lock will rearm your factory security system.
Turbo Mode
When left in Turbo Mode, the unit will keep the engine running for 60 seconds before shutting it
down. This is to allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle. See Turbo
Mode section earlier in this Guide.
