CONTINUOUS MODE
Continuous Mode function lets you remove the key from the ignition while leaving the engine running. This convenient feature allows you to leave your vehicle for
short periods while the climate controls remain on.
A
UTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLES
To access Continuous Mode, send the Start command while the engine is idling (see STARTING THE ENGINE on page 9). If the
Turbo Mode is active, you must press a second time on the
button of the remote to set the runtime according to the preset
settings. The parking lights, engine and climate controls will remain on for the duration of the programmed runtime.
M
ANUAL TRANSMISSION
VEHICLES
To access the Continuous Mode, send the Start command before removing the key from the ignition when performing the safety
sequence described on page 4. See “STARTING THE ENGINE” on page 9.
Note: Do not send the stop command if you perform the sequence activated by the remote control (Step 7). If the Turbo Mode is
on, it will be activated when the safety sequence is executed.
Remove the key, exit the vehicle and lock all doors. All safety devices will remain active.
If you return to your vehicle before the runtime has elapsed, just turn the key to the RUN position and press the brake pedal.
TURBO MODE
(Activated at time of installation)
This mode allows the engine to be left running at idle speed for a short period of time so that the turbocharger can cool down as recommended by certain car
manufacturers.
This mode activates the continuous mode at a reduced runtime (one or two minutes according to the programming).
To activate the Turbo Mode, press the
button for 2 seconds (refer to ‘Continuous Mode’).
WHAT STOPS THE ENGINE
For your safety, engine will not start or will stop if:
Your key is in the ignition (prevents Start cycle).
the remote control commands to stop.
the hood is open.
the brakes are applied.
the engine is over-revving (if programmed. Enable at installation).
the alarm detects intrusion.
the main switch is OFF.
the safety sequence is not valid (manual transmission vehicle only - the parking brake wasn’t applied, opening the door while the remote starter wasn’t
keeping the engine running).
MAIN SWITCH
The main switch is usually mounted under the dashboard. It is a toggle ON/OFF switch that is used to cancel start functions.
It does not disable other commands. Commands remain active (Alarm features, Locks, etc.).
LOW TEMPERATURE MODE
In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, the system starts your engine automatically when the temperature falls
below a preset level. This level is set during the installation (runtime durations are doubled for diesel engine
vehicles).
When the engine turns off, it waits for 2½ hours before starting up again for a duration of 4 min.
,
8 min.
or 18 min.
. Then, the system waits another 2½ hours before starting the engine again if temperature still is below the preset level.
To activate/cancel Low Temperature mode, press the
and
buttons simultaneously. Applying the brakes also cancels the Low Temperature mode.
WHEN L
-
TEMP MODE IS ACTIVATED
:
The parking lights flash 4 times, then, if the temperature is below the preset level, the engine starts.
If the temperature is above the preset level, system will wait until it goes below the preset level before starting up the engine.
In the case of a manual transmission vehicle, the system must have detected a valid security sequence to allow the activation of the Low Temperature mode.
(see “Safety sequence for manual transmission vehicles” on page 4).
If the system cannot execute the command (for example, the security sequence is not valid or the hood is open), the parking lights will flash 3 times.
WHEN L
-
TEMP MODE IS CANCELLED
:
The parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the mode is cancelled.
The temperature threshold is set to
9
-5 °C (23 °F)
-20 °C (-7 °F)
-15 °C (5 °F)
-30 °C (-22 °F)
