Remote Car
Starter's activation, the following events will also occur:
1)
The vehicle's Ignition circuit will also turn on when the exterior lights turn on.
2)
Two seconds after activation, the parking lights will turn off, and the Starter will
engage. The Ignition circuit will remain on throughout this process.
3)
The engine will start to run, which will be detected by the RS-4LX, and the
Starter will automatically be disengaged.
4)
Seven seconds later, the exterior lights (if connected) will turn back on, and stay
on for the duration of the period that the engine is running by control of the
RS-4LX.
5)
If the engine stalls, the unit will make two attempts to restart it.
6)
After ten (or fifteen) minutes the RS-4LX
will automatically turn the engine off.
Safety Features And Deactivation: The RS-4LX includes multiple built-in safety
features. The unit will not engage if the gear shift selector is in a forward or reverse gear
position. The unit will not engage if the hood is opened. If the engine is running by remote
control, either of these actions will cause the engine to stop running.
The RS-4LX
may be deactivated by several methods. To stop the engine by remote
control, you may simply press again the transmitter button(s) used to activate the unit. For
normal operation, once you have entered the vehicle, stepping on the brake pedal will
deactivate the unit. If you first used your vehicle's key to turn the ignition switch on (do
not turn to the Start position), the engine will remain running after the RS-4LX is deacti-
vated. The Override Switch may also be used to deactivate the unit while it is operating, in
addition to preventing activation.
General Motors VATS: Commonly encountered in certain General Motors vehicles
is the Vehicle Anti-Theft System (VATS). The VATS first appeared in the 1986 Corvette
and has become very popular because of its ease of use and effectiveness.
The VATS consists of a pellet resistor in the shank of the ignition key, which is read
by a decoder in the VATS control module. When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch, if the decoder reads the correct resistance value, it will allow the starter to engage.
In later model systems, the fuel pump is also controlled; in the latest versions the engine
control system will not allow the engine to stay running. When installing a remote starter
in a VATS equipped vehicle, an optional AU-VAT bypass kit is required:
