If your system was installed with the Remote Trunk Release option, you can open your trunk by
pressing the
button until the remote displays the text “TRUNK” on the screen. In addition, this
will also disarm the OEM-style alarm (if installed).
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 Switch) while the engine is running.
Activating Idle mode (Automatic transmission):
1.
With the engine running, make sure to release the brake pedal and press the
,
or button on the transmitter until the parking lights come ON.
Note: SmartStart™ can be setup to use the SmartStart™ icon to activate Idle mode.
2.
Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
The engine will continue running.
3.
Exit the vehicle. All doors, the hood and trunk should be closed
4.
Press the
button to lock the doors, to arm the starter kill and to arm the alarm (if
available). The engine will continue running.
a.
When re-entering the vehicle, the user must reinsert the key into the ignition and
turn it to the ON position (not Crank) without pressing on the brake.
b.
Once the key is in the ON position, press on the brake pedal to put the
transmission in gear. Pressing the brake pedal at this step will cancel the remote
starter takeover.
c.
Drive off.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, Idle Mode can be activated through the same routine as
that used for Ready Mode (page-9); at the last step, press the
button to lock the doors, arm
the system and leave the engine running.
Push-To-Start Idle Mode
This feature is a variation of “Idle mode”, but made specifically for Push-To-Start vehicles, with
automatic or manual transmissions. (Consult your installer for availability of this feature.) Follow the
same steps as the normal Idle Mode procedure, except for when re-entering the vehicle while the
engine is running;
1.
Press unlock
2.
Open then close all doors.
3.
You have 1.5 minutes (or 3 minutes) to press on the brake pedal, to get in gear and
drive off.
Note 1: Pressing on the brake pedal after the allocated (1.5 or 3-min.) period will shut the engine
down.
Note 2: The engine will continue running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration
of the run time.
Note 3: If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine remotely, the
vehicle will enter Ready Mode automatically (manual transmissions only).
Caution!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode.
