While the default-set minimum is sufficient for most vehicles; the Extended Starter
Cranking Time can be used for difficult-to-start engines.
#34 “Tach Wire” or “Tachless” Starter Operation:
Default “Tachless”
This feature selects the processor’s method of determining the status of the
engine running during remote start operation. As explained in the previous
feature’s description, “Tachless” mode has an associated base starter output time
duration. However, if the voltage fluctuation is detectable, the processor adjusts the
starter output time accordingly. When this feature is set for “Tach Wire” operation,
the base starter output increases to 3 seconds, but the processor adjusts the actual
starter engagement time accordingly. Connecting and use of the “Tach Wire” is the
most reliable form of engine running information input, and its use is recom-
mended.
Programming Tach Wire or Tachless:
Prior to programming this fea-
ture, please refer to the “Installation Manual” for proper wiring connection and the
Tach Learning Procedure, both of which are required to use this feature. To
program the feature, follow Steps 1 to 4 on page 25; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will
be pressed and released thirty four times. The system’s response will be thirty four
siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing thirty four times, pausing, then repeating.
Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter’s "Arm/Lock" button to
configure the system for Tachless operation (the siren will chirp once) or the
"Disarm/Unlock" button to configure the system for Tach Wire operation (the siren
will chirp twice).
#35 Stick Shift Remote Starting:
Default Off
This feature changes the parameters of the MAX-E’s remote start operation to
be suitable for manual transmission-equipped vehicles via a “setup” procedure
which must be followed upon exiting the vehicle. When this feature is turned on,
the operator must set the parking brake and then press the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock”
and “Disarm/Unlock” buttons, which keeps the engine running after removing the
ignition key. After exiting, the user must then arm the MAX-E and lock the vehicle
doors by pressing the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock” button. Only after this will the
system accept a remote start command, and the vehicle must remain undisturbed
until that point. The complete instructions for remote starting, including Stick Shift
Remote Starting, is on pages 15 through 18.
Programming Stick Shift Remote Starting:
The operation of this
featuredepends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s parking
brake; please refer to the “Installation Manual” for proper connection of this wire.
To program the feature, follow Steps 1 to 4 on page 25; at Step 4 the Valet Switch
will be pressed and released thirty five times. The system’s response will be thirty
five siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing thirty five times, pausing, then
repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter’s "Arm/Lock"
There are three methods of Disarming the security system:
1- The first method is to press and release the transmitter’s “Disarm/Unlock”
button to disarm the system. This is the normal method.
2- The second method is to press and release the transmitter’s “
II
” button twice
within 5 seconds. This is “silent Disarming”.
3- The third method is for emergencies, should the transmitter become lost or
inoperable. This is the “Emergency Override”, and uses the ignition key and
the Valet Switch.

Upon Disarming:
• The siren will chirp twice (or four times if an alarm activation occurred) unless
the silent disarming procedure is followed.
• The parking and dome lights will flash twice, then illuminate for 30 seconds
unless the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. If the system has been activated, the
parking lights will flash four times before illuminating.
• The doors will unlock, either all doors or driver’s door only.*
• The starter interrupt will disengage.
• The Status Indicator Light will show one of these features or conditions:
-Flashing Red rapidly = Automatic Rearming feature is in progress.
-Off = System disarmed (Automatic Rearming feature not selected).
-Flash Red /Pause = Indicates violated zone if system has been activated.
