flip the Override Switch OFF, ON, OFF, ON just before you remove the key.  The
vehicle's engine will run for ten minutes (15 minutes optional), or until you press
the transmitter button or step on the brake pedal.  This feature is handy if you want
to run into a store for a minute, but wish to leave the engine running while taking
your keys with you.

4)

Optional Pre-Activation Enable: This option can be programmed by the installer.
Pre-Activation Enable requires that the Override Switch be switched OFF, then
ON every time you remove the key and exit the vehicle if you plan on using the
Remote Car Starter later.  This option ensures that the Remote Car Starter cannot
be engaged without predetermination of intended use and is a very desirable
option for the safety-conscience person.

5)

ClimaSense

TM

 Option:  This feature will automatically start your car's engine, if

desired, under the following conditions:  should the temperature drop below 0

O

F

(-18

C) or rise above 140

O

F (78

O

C), or if the battery voltage drops below 11 volts.

The engine will run for the normal 10 (or 15) minute period and turn off.  To
engage the ClimaSense

TM

 option, turn off the engine and then within 5 seconds

press the brake pedal twice.  The exterior lights will flash (or the accessories will
turn on) once to confirm that the ClimaSense

TM

 has been activated. The

ClimaSense

TM

 will automatically start the engine no more than once every 3 hours

and for a maximum of 5 separate times.  Pressing the brake at any time after the
ClimaSense

TM

 has activated will disable this feature.

Also remember that certain vehicles require considerable amounts of current for cli-

mate control circuits.  In these cases, additional relays may be required.

Another unusual circumstance occurs in some imports.  When the ignition switch is in

the "Off" position, the start and ignition terminals overlap, which results in the ignition
circuit powering the starter when the remote starter is engaged.  Affected vehicles are the
1993 & up Nissan Altima, the 1990 & up Toyota Tercel and the 1994 & up Toyota Camry.
In these cases a relay must be added to interrupt the ignition wire so that voltage does not
backfeed the starter circuit through the ignition switch.  Interrupt the Black/Red wire in the
Tercel, the Black/Pink wire in the Altima and the Black/Orange wire in the Camry.

Multiple Ignition Or Starter Circuits: When more than two Ignition circuits or

more than one Starter circuit is encountered, the optional dual relay socket and relays may
be used.  A new feature of the RS-4LX is the Red 3-pin port found on the side of the
control module which contains activation circuits and a (+) 12 Volt supply for the optional
relay's coils.

The dual socket's Red connector plugs directly into the matching Red port found on

the RS-4LX control module.  Its Red wire connects to a source of constant (+) Volts; if this
source is not fused a fuse and holder must be added.  The remaining Green wire is an
additional Starter circuit and the Blue wire is an additional Ignition circuit.

In a situation where two additional Ignition circuits are desired but an additional Starter

circuit is not, the small Green wire may cut and spliced to the small Blue wire; the large
Blue and Green wires are now both Ignition circuits.
