Remote Door Locks
If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Remote Door Locks option, you will have the
convenience of remote keyless entry. See section Arming and Disarming the Remote Car
Starter, earlier in this Guide, for further instructions on remote door locking and unlocking.
Active or Passive Arming
The Starter Kill can be configured either to Passive Mode (so as to arm automatically) or Active
Mode (so as to require user intervention for arming). By default, your Remote Car Starter is
configured to Passive Mode. In Passive Mode, the Starter Kill will automatically arm 60 seconds
after the last door is closed. The Remote Car Starter will not arm if a door is left open, or if you re-
open a door within the 60-second delay.
Important note: When the Starter Kill re-arms automatically, you can disarm it by simply
pressing the
UNLOCK
button.
The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature
With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition
key when the Starter Kill is armed. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Starter Kill
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 re-engaging that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force
of habit, turn the ignition key to the
CRANK
position.
