SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
ANTI
-
LOCK
When connected, this function prevents the system from locking the doors during the automatic rearming if the key is in the ignition.
It can also be connected to a switch to select automatic locking as ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
TEMPORARY VALET MODE
(
ALARM
)
This mode is used to cancel the automatic rearming until next rearming. I.e. the system will not rearm automatically after 30 seconds. However, the system goes
back to normal next time it is rearmed (with delay).
You will find this mode useful when fuelling up or working on your vehicle.
To activate Temporary Valet Mode, press the
button during the rearming cycle (the indicator light flashes rapidly).
When the light stops flashing, it confirms that the Temporary Valet Mode has been activated.
To cancel this mode, place the ignition key in the RUN position then remove it; the passive rearming is reactivated when you open a door.
You can also arm the system using the remote, which cancels the Temporary Valet Mode.
VALET MODE
This mode is used to deactivate the alarm permanently when you take your vehicle in for servicing, for example. It can be activated or
deactivated either by the remote (see table of commands, page 13) or by the Valet switch. See also Pager on page 11.
The Valet switch activates the Valet Mode or terminates the alarm condition when your remote control is not available (lost, dead
batteries, etc.).
This switch must be installed in a hidden place known only to regular users of the vehicle.
Ask your installer to tell you where it is.

, place the ignition key in the RUN position (do not start the engine), then press the Valet switch for about 3 seconds. The indicator
light will come on at half-brightness for 15 seconds or less and the parking lights will flash four times to confirm that the mode was enabled. The indicator light
comes on again when the engine is stopped or when certain commands are received, reminding you that the Valet Mode is active.

, place the ignition key in the RUN position (do not start the engine), then press the Valet switch for about 3 seconds. The
indicator light goes out and the parking lights flash twice to confirm that the mode was disabled.
Notes:
If you perform both sequences one after the other, you need to pause for 3 seconds between the two sequences.
The Valet Mode is automatically deactivated when the key is turned to the RUN position and/or the engine is remote started for the tenth time. This is to prevent
the Valet Mode from being left on for long periods.
OTHER COMMANDS
ANTITHEFT (CIRCUIT DISABLER)
Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.
Your Remote Starter is equipped with an antitheft system. This system, when enabled, consists of a control that cuts all circuits required to operate your vehicle
(optional connection).
There are two types of antitheft systems.
“PASSIVE ARMING" TYPE ANTITHEFT
/
This type of antitheft system arms automatically when the ignition key is turned from RUN to OFF and remains OFF for one minute. It can also be armed
manually by sending a Lock command (unless the ignition key is in the RUN position).
DISARMING
The antitheft system is disarmed for one minute when you send an Unlock command.
If the ignition key is not turned to the RUN position within one minute, the system automatically rearms, thus preventing an intruder from starting your vehicle,
even with the ignition key. The indicator light (optional) blinks rapidly during the rearming, then continuously when the antitheft system is armed.
It can be connected so that the horn sounds if an intruder tries to start your vehicle when the antitheft is armed.
“ACTIVE" TYPE ANTITHEFT
/
This type of antitheft system is armed by sending a ‘Lock’ command (unless the ignition key is in the RUN position) and is disarmed by sending an ‘Unlock’
command. The indicator light (optional) blinks continuously when the antitheft system is armed (if the AstroStart security system is not armed).
VALET MODE (ANTITHEFT)
The Antitheft function can be deactivated for the same reasons and in the same way as the Antitheft system. See "Valet mode" details on page 17.
PARKING LIGHTS STATUS
The system can advise you that the vehicle’s lights have been on for more than ten seconds after the engine was stopped (additional optional equipment
required).
The message is sent again after 30 seconds and then every two minutes for as long as the lights remain on.
This function is only available on gas-powered and hybrid vehicles.
