If desired, the system’s alarm function may be armed or disarmed as needed
during remote start operations (the system must be disarmed before entering
the vehicle).
Should the engine fail to start on the first attempt, the system will subsequently
make as many as three further attempts, if needed. Please note that each starting
attempt takes approximately 20 seconds for the system to check the vehicle’s
status, cycle the ignition and starter circuits, and then monitor vehicle status again
before the next attempt.
Certain conditions will prevent the engine from remotely starting, or if
remotely started already, will stop the running engine. These conditions are:
✓
A pressed brake pedal.
✓
The gear selector not being in the “park” or “neutral” position.
✓
An open hood.
An open door will not prevent the system from starting the engine; if the engine
has already been remotely started, opening a door will not stop the running
engine, unless the system is armed. Opening a door with the engine running by
remote control and the system armed will result in the system going into an alarm
condition, sounding the siren and flashing the lights, and stopping the engine.

Pit-Stop Feature:
This feature allows you to turn off the ignition switch,
remove your keys, leave the vehicle and lock your doors while leaving the en-
gine running. To use this feature, have the engine running normally from the
ignition switch, have the gear selector in “park”, and your foot off of the brake
pedal. Press the Valet Switch twice; the parking lights will flash once and the
siren chirps 5 times; then turn the ignition off. The engine will remain running
for the programmed run time, or it will turn off if another transmitter/transceiver
signal is received, a safety circuit is violated, or if the Valet Switch is pressed.
If a start command is sent from the transmitter, but any of the previously listed
conditions are present, the system will not attempt to start the engine and will
instead have a short sounding of the siren to indicate a violated safety circuit.
The violated safety circuit conditions which can produce this indication are the
gear selector not in the “park” position, an open hood or trunk, or a pressed brake
pedal. If the system is in Starting Valet Mode, it simply will not respond to a
transmitter or transceiver command.
To drive the vehicle away after remote starting, disarm the system (if needed)
open the door to enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn
the switch to “on” or “run” position (not “start”!). Then press the brake pedal or
remove the gear selector from “park”; now the engine is no longer running from
the system, but rather from the ignition key. Pressing the Valet Switch also turn
off the system’s running the engine, but without the violated safety circuit siren
sounding.
Feature #1
SecureCode
(Factory Default Setting: 1 Press)
SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to custom select
the number of Valet Switch presses which would be required in order to perform
an Emergency Override. Instead of “1 press” of the Valet Switch, a customized
programming of the SecureCode would require from 2 to 12 presses. Additionally,
should any of the three Vehicle Recovery features be utilized, a customized
SecureCode would require that the correct SecureCode entry of Valet Switch be
made to cancel the Vehicle Recovery activation.
A customized SecureCode, however, does not affect the Alarm Valet Mode
and Start Valet Mode. As the system must already be Disarmed to obtain either
or both of these modes, one Valet Switch press would still the procedure, even
with a customized SecureCode being programmed into the system.
The “as received” factory default setting of “1 press” is the most convenient,
as an Emergency Override will occur instantly when the Valet Switch is pressed,
but it is not as secure as a customized setting. When a customized SecureCode
has been programmed, the system will disarm a few seconds after the correct Valet
Switch presses entry.
To custom program a new SecureCode:
Step 1
Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.
Step 2
Turn the ignition off.
Step 3
Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch 5 times.
•The siren will chirp and sound briefly and the Status Light will
flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.
•Once in Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming
activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Program-
ming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or pressing a trans-
mitter button once a feature is accessed.
Step 4
Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch one time.
•The siren will chirp once and the Status Indicator Light will flash
once, pause, then repeat.
Step 5
Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter/transceiver’s
"Arm/Lock" button.
• Two siren chirps will be the response.
Step 6
Within 5 seconds press the Valet Switch the same number of times
as the desired customized Selectable Code Override (2 to 12 presses).
• The entry must be made within 5 seconds. If not, the siren chirps
once, and system reverts to the default setting of “1 press”.
Step 7
Wait for the siren to chirp the same number of times as the Valet
Switch presses to confirm the new SecureCode entry.
Step 8
Allow the system to exit Programming Mode.
