Should the engine fail to start on the first remote attempt, the system will
subsequently make as many as three further attempts, as 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.
Safety Features: 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, or
alternatively, the parking brake not being set.
An open hood.
If manual transmission, the vehicle was entered or disturbed after the
setup procedure was performed.
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
activating the system, which will stop the running engine.
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. To
indicate this, the system will briefly sound the siren. Pressing the Valet
Switch will also turn off the system’s running the engine, but without the
violated safety circuit siren sounding.
If a start command is sent from the transmitter, but any of the above
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.
“Stick Shift” Remote Starting Setup Procedure: When the Omega AL-
1610-EDP is installed into a manual transmission vehicle, Installer Pro-
grammable Feature #5 must be turned on. Then, whenever remote start-
ing will be desired at a later time the following procedure must be per-
formed before exiting the vehicle:
To custom program a new SecureCode:
Step 3
After entering the first stage by pressing the “arm/lock” button the
desired number of times, and receiving a chirp for each press, wait
for the system, after the final button press, to chirp the siren again
the total number of times that the button was pressed.
Step 2
Within 10 seconds slowly press and release the transmitter’s
“arm/lock” button the number of times equal to the desired
SecureCode for stage 1, allow the system to respond to each
transmitter button press with a siren chirp before pressing the
button again.
Step 1
Follow Steps 1 to 4 in the previous “How to Program Features”
instructions; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and
released once (the siren chirps once) to access “feature #1”.
Feature #1 SecureCode
Factory Default Setting
1 Press
Options:
1 to 9 presses, in each of two stages
Step 4
Continue to configure stage 2 of the SecureCode by now pressing
and releasing the “disarm/unlock” button the number of times
desired for the stage 2. This should be done in the exact same
fashion as the stage 1 entry- press the “disarm/unlock” button,
wait for a single chirp before pressing the button again, and then
when final button press is done, wait after the single chirp for the
siren to chirp the total number entered Valet Switch entry.
Feature #2 Last Door Arming
Factory Default Setting
Off
(press “arm/lock” button to program)
Options:
On without doors locking
(press “disarm/unlock” button to program)
On with doors locking
(press
“
||” bu
t
ton to program)
“Last Door Arming” has the system automatically arm itself every time you
exit the vehicle (the complete operation is described on pages 9 & 10).
SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to custom select
the number of Valet Switch presses in two stages, instead of a single “1
press”, which would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override.
If any of the three anti-carjacking features are utilized, a customized
SecureCode would also be required to turn it off once it is fully activated.
The SecureCode operation is described on page 21.
