ADJUSTING ENGINE RUNTIME SETTINGS
Once remote started from your factory key fob or long-range remote, your vehicle will run for the
programmed ‘runtime’ setting. The default runtime is 15 minutes but it can also be programmed for
3, 5, 10, 25, 30 or 35 minutes. If you wish to change your remote start runtime setting, contact your
iDataStart Authorized Dealer.
KEY TAKEOVER FOLLOWING REMOTE START
Available on some vehicles, the ‘key takeover’ procedure ensures that your engine does not turn off
when entering the car during the remote start runtime, following a remote start command. Follow the
instructions below or scan the QR code to view a video tutorial.
