“Engine Running Time” (feature #4) is adjustable so that remote starting the

engine will allow it to run for 10, 20, 30 or 40 minutes before it automatically
stops.  When programming as described on page 11, at step “4)” set the time as
follows: press “LOCK” for 10 minutes; press “UNLOCK” for 20 minutes; press
“START” for 30 minutes; or press “TRUNK” for 40 minutes.

“Unlock Doors With Trunk Release” (feature #7) can be changed, so that oper-

ating trunk release will not also automatically unlock the doors.

“Doors Lock/Unlock Upon Ignition On/Off” (feature #8), being factory-set “on”,

automatically locks the doors when the ignition key is turned on, and unlocks
them when the key is turned off.  If desired, this feature can be turned “off”.

- “Horn Confirmation With Doorlocking” (feature #9) actually has three options.

The factory setting (press “LOCK” when programming) has automatic confir-
mation chips with doorlocking operation.  One option (press “UNLOCK” when
programming) has the chirp when doorlocking “upon demand” via pressing the
transmitter again a second time.  The second option (press “START “ when
programing) completely turns off the chirp confirmation.

- “Horn Confirmation With Engine Start” (feature #10) can be changed, so that

the 3 horn chirps upon remote starting are turned off.

To use this wire to turn off Retained Accessory Power, locate a vehicle wire within the

door or doorjamb which shows Negative when the door is open.  Should such a wire be
found which is positive, a relay is needed to reverse the Yellow/Red wire’s Negative
output to Positive.

The Yellow/Red wire produces a Negative pulse output whenever the system turns

off the engine after it has been remotely started.

The Pink/Black wire allows for alternative

devices such as an existing keyless entry or alarm system to activate the remote start
operation.  If the Pink/Black wire receives a Negative pulse, the Comfort Start unit will
start the vehicle's engine, provided that all safety circuits are in the proper status.  After
the engine has been started by remote control, another Negative pulse on the Pink wire
will turn the unit off, stopping the engine.

The Pink/Black wire can be connected to an available auxiliary output of an existing

Remote Security System, and the unit's remote control may also be used to activate the
remote start operation.

Should it be desired to activate the unit’s remote start operation from an existing

keyless entry system, programmable feature #6 will configure the Pink/Black wire to
activate the remote start feature only if it receives two Negative pulses within 10 sec-
onds.  This allows configuring the unit to remote start when the OEM transmitter’s “LOCK”
button is pressed twice.  In most cases the existing keyless entry system will have Nega-
tive switching door lock circuits to which the Pink/Black wire may be connected directly.
In the other cases, an optional relay is needed to reverse Positive polarity to Negative.
