REMOTE START OPERATION
ENTERING A REMOTE STARTED VEHICLE:
To enter a remote started vehicle, press button (I) to Unlock/Disarm, insert key and turn on to the run position [DO
NOT Turn the key to the Start position or you may damage the Starter!], tap on the foot brake to reset the unit and
drive away as normal. The key is now operating the vehicle. The optional ANTI-GRIND / STARTER KILL feature can
help to avoid starter damage from turning the key over and re-engaging the starter on a running engine.
IDLE-DOWN:
This mode allows the unit to take over operation of the parked vehicle while the ignition key is removed and you exit
the vehicle. The vehicle is put into a remote running condition before you exit and it will remain running for the
programmed run time or until you come back.
Examples:
•
You pull up to a convenience store for a quick stop, "Idle Down" mode keeps engine running when you exit
the vehicle, (with keys in hand) and arm the alarm. When you return, unlock/disarm alarm, turn ignition ON
and drive away.
•
On Turbo-charged vehicles, some Car manufacturers recommended that the driver leave the car at idle for
a short time after a long or vigorous drive before turning the car off. This allows the turbo to cool down
and stabilize. The convenience of the Idle down feature allows the driver to use the Remote Start system
similar to a turbo timer. The Driver may exit the vehicle while running and turn the engine off from the
remote.
With engine running, press and hold the brake pedal and push button (I) on the Transmitter. The parking lights/remote
start will turn ON. Turn Off the Ignition and remove key while engine will remains running. Exit vehicle and arm the
system. The Engine will remain running for programmed run time, until you return, or it can be turned off at any time
through Button (II).

DO NOT
leave vehicle in a closed garage with this feature activated!
First make sure the self-start mode has been enabled
with program option #8. (Unit starts every 2 hours by default). Use program option #9 to change interval time if
needed. To activate the self-starting mode, press and hold the brake pedal and the Valet button, then press and hold
Button (II) on the transceiver for about 4 seconds. The parking lights will flash 5 times, (3) siren chirps, and the vehicle
will automatically start and run for about 30 seconds then turn off by itself. From this point on, as long as you don not
press the brake pedal or Remote Start the vehicle by using button (II) on the Transmitter, the vehicle will start by itself
after the pre-programmed time period (1 or 2 hours).
