Engine Run Time
On a gas engine, the Remote Car Starter can be programmed to run the engine for 3, 15, or 25 minutes
(15 minutes by default). On a diesel engine, the Remote Car Starter can be programmed to run the engine for
8, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes by default).
Idle Mode
Convenience feature: Idle Mode allows you to keep the engine running and the doors locked while you
stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery.
This feature allows you to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the Ignition

Press the button to lock the doors, to arm the starter kill and to arm the OEM style alarm.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, Idle Mode can be activated through the same routine as that used

button to lock the doors, arm the system and leave the
engine running.
Note 1: The engine will continue running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the engine
run time.
Note 2: If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote control, the
vehicle will enter Ready Mode.
Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode.
Turbo Mode
If Turbo Mode is configured at installation, it will allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the
vehicle: the unit will take over the vehicle and keep it running for 60 seconds (or until it is shut down by remote
control), then shut down the engine.
