SmartPowerUp™ II
If power to the system is ever removed, SmartPowerUp II ensures the system will
automatically restore itself to its previous state when power is restored. So if a thief
disconnects the power and then restores it in an attempt to start the car, the system will
re-arm and instantly sound the siren while immobilizing the vehicle. If your vehicle is to
be serviced by a mechanic, just put the system in valet mode via the remote control (see
Remote Controlled Valet Mode Entry and Exit on page 19. If the mechanic needs to
interrupt power, your system will automatically return to its valet mode state when
power is restored; there will be no alarm activation and no need to provide your
mechanic with your remote control and instructions on how to use it.
Remote Engine Starting
How to remotely start/shutdown the engine
WARNING: Always exercise caution and common sense when using the remote
starting feature. Never remotely start the engine or engage the AutoStart feature when
the vehicle is parked in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation. Never allow
children to play with the remote control.
Whenever you start the engine via the remote or the phone-in START command (see
pages 30-32), IntelliPage rapidly makes a series of safety checks before attempting to
crank the starter motor. It will:
•
Verify that the engine or ignition switch is not already on.
•
Verify that the engine is not overheated.
•
Verify that no one is in the vehicle pressing the brake pedal.
•
Verify that the hood is closed.
To start the engine with the remote control, transmit channel 5 (LevelShift once, then
button 1). All of the following will occur:
•
You will see two parking light flashes to confirm startup initiation. (NOTE:
four flashes indicate a fault condition, e.g., the hood is open).
•
The engine and all preset accessories (air conditioner, heater, defroster, etc.)
will start and run.
•
While the engine idles, the parking lights will remain illuminated for on-going
visual confirmation.
When the engine is running under the control of your IntelliPage, you may, if you wish,
shut down the engine by again transmitting channel 5 (you may also use the phone-in
STOP command, see pages 30-32).
Diesel compatibility
If your vehicle has a diesel engine, your IntelliPage will activate the engine’s glowplugs
for 20 seconds before actually starting the engine.
