timer mode

This unit can be programmed to start and run the engine every three hours. The engine will run for the pro-

grammed run time and then shut down. After three hours, the unit will restart the engine. A maximum of six

cycles can occur.

IMPORTANT!

Timer Mode should be used only in open areas. Never start and run the vehicle in an

enclosed space such as a garage or carport.

To enter Timer Mode:

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Press and

HOLD

the auxiliary channel transmitter button controlling remote start.

3. Turn the ignition off while holding the auxiliary channel transmitter button.

The parking lights (if connected) will flash four times and the engine will start. The system is in Timer Mode. The

engine may be allowed to run for its programmed run time, or the auxiliary channel can be used to shut down

the engine. Either way, the remote start system will restart the engine again in three hours. Timer Mode is exited

automatically after the sixth run cycle.

To exit Timer Mode:

Timer Mode can be exited by turning the ignition on with the key any time the engine is not running. Timer Mode

will be exited and the parking lights will flash four times.

safety check

Before vehicle reassembly, the remote system must be checked to ensure safe and trouble-free operation. The fol-

lowing test procedure must be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. The installation

must be completed before testing, including connection to the brake switch and hood switch.

1. Test the BRAKE shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), activate the remote start system. Once the

engine is running, press the brake pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues

to run, check the brake circuit connection.

2. Test the HOOD PIN shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), open the hood. Activate the remote start

system. The vehicle should not start. If the starter engages, check your hood pin and connections.

3. Test the NEUTRAL SAFETY shutdown circuit:

IMPORTANT!

Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle before

attempting this test.
