Using Your Remote Starter
Starting Your Vehicle
The remote start function is activated by BOTH buttons on the remote
control. The system will check the vehicle to ensure that it is safe to start,
and if all safety parameters are correct, the engine will start within 5
seconds (diesel engines will take longer.) Press and hold BOTH buttons
again to turn off the vehicle.
If your vehicle stalls or does not start...
If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the F50/F55 will pause 5
seconds, then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of four
attempts). The system pauses 5 seconds between each start attempt.
If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the
F50/F55 will abort the start process.
Your vehicle can be started by remote control whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
Remote Start Safety Features
For safety and security reasons, the F50/F55 will shut off the vehicle
during remote start if any of the following occur:
• The vehicle hood is opened
• The brake is pressed before the vehicle ignition is turned on
with the key
• The engine reaches 3 times its normal idle*
As a safety precaution, the vehicle will shut off if left unattended for
12 or 25 minutes, depending on the time preset by your installer.
Entering the Vehicle While It is Running via Remote Start
1. Enter the vehicle. Do not press the brake pedal.
2. Insert the key into the ignition and turn to the ON position.
3. Press the brake pedal. The remote starter disengages and the
vehicle will operate normally.
Pre-Heating or Pre-Cooling the Interior of the Vehicle
Before exiting the vehicle, set the temperature controls to the desired
setting and operation. After the F50/F55 starts the vehicle, the heater
or air-conditioning will activate and heat or cool the interior to your
setting.
* The tach wire must be connected and the system must be in tach monitor mode.
