Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to become
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wiper and headlight switches are
OFF
. Leaving the headlight switch
ON
on certain types
of vehicles could cause them to remain
ON
even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead
battery.

Remote Starter Features
Idle Mode
Convenience feature:
Idle Mode allows you to keep the engine running and the doors
locked while you stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery.
This feature allows you to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the
Ignition Switch) while the engine is running. For example, if you stop for a delivery or at a conveni-
ence store, lock your vehicle and leave it running for the length of a run cycle while you are away.
To leave the vehicle in Idle Mode:
1.
With the engine running, press the
LOCK
or
UNLOCK
button (to unlock the doors) or the
START
button on the remote control until the parking lights come on.
2.
Remove the key and exit the vehicle. The engine will go on running.
3.
Lock the doors if needed.
