The AutoStart features
Your Smart Remote Starter III has two AutoStart features:
AutoStart Battery Mode: This is an especially valuable feature when you need to leave
your vehicle parked for an extended period of time. If engaged, the system will
automatically monitor the voltage level of the vehicle battery while you are away. If the
voltage drops below a preset level, the system will automatically start the engine and
recharge the battery (to conserve battery power, the Smart Remote Starter III will not
activate the parking lights nor any preset accessories in this mode). Likewise, the system
automatically shuts down the engine once the battery is properly charged or after 30
minutes, whichever occurs first. If needed, the process will repeat every eight hours until
the battery is properly charged. AutoStart Battery Mode is automatically canceled as soon
as you drive your car.
AutoStart Temperature Mode: Whenever you wish, you may set your Smart Remote
Starter III to AutoStart the vehicle if the engine temperature drops below 15°F (-9°C). The
system will idle the engine for 30 minutes or until you enter and drive, whichever occurs
first. AutoStart Temperature Mode is automatically canceled as soon as you drive your car.
You can activate either of the AutoStart features via the programming procedure
(see the User-selectable features section on page 13). Or, for even greater ease, just
press remote control button 4 to remotely activate both AutoStart features (two flashes
of the parking lights will confirm remote activation of the AutoStart features).
Optional remote headlight activation and/or remote trunk release
Button 3 on your remote control can command two different options: one while the
system’s starter interrupt is engaged and another while it is disengaged.
If you have the optional remote headlight activation feature installed, a single
press of button 3 while the system’s starter interrupt is engaged (i.e., the LED is
flashing) will activate the system’s built-in timer to illuminate the headlights for
any duration of your choice between 1 second and two minutes. To change the
headlight duration, see User-selectable features on page 13.
If you have the optional remote
trunk release feature, a press of button 3 while the
system’s starter interrupt is disengaged (LED is off) will pop the trunk. For safety
and security reasons, the button 3 will not pop the trunk if the engine is running to
ensure against accidental activation while driving.
Optional remote controlled window/sunroof closure
On certain vehicles, including several models of BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen
and Jaguar, the Smart Remote Starter III can be wired to automatically close all the
power windows/sunroof every time you remotely lock the doors. If you have this
feature, do not change the user-selectable headlight duration. Doing so may cause
damage to your vehicle’s window/sunroof motors.
