Programming Automatic Rearming:
Follow Steps 1 to 4 on page 25; at Step
4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released three times. The system’s response
will be three siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing three times, pausing, then
repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter’s "Arm/Lock"
button to turn on the Automatic Rearming feature (the siren will chirp once) or the
"Disarm/Unlock" button to turn the Automatic Rearming feature off (the siren will
chirp twice).
#4 Starter Interrupt Circuit:
Default On
This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit. Programming this feature
off completely eliminates the Starter Interrupt output, while leaving all other sys-
tem operations fully functional.
Programming Starter Interrupt Circuit:

Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released four times. The system’s
response will be four siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing four times, pausing,
then repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter’s "Arm/Lock"
button to turn on the Starter Interrupt circuit (the siren will chirp once) or the
"Disarm/Unlock" button to turn it off (the siren will chirp twice).
#5 Automatic Starter Interrupt:
Default Off
Programming this feature "on" will cause the Starter Interrupt circuit to auto-
matically engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off, and also 90
seconds after disarming unless the ignition switch is turned on during the 90 sec-
ond period. This feature will engage the Starter Interrupt circuit independently of
all other system functions, and the engagement of Starter Interrupt will occur even
if the system is in an otherwise disarmed state. Once the Starter Interrupt output is
activated by this feature, the system must be disarmed with the transmitter, or
placed into valet mode, to disengage it in order to start the vehicle. Only the
starter interrupt engages- there is no visual indication that it is engaged.
Programming Automatic Starter Interrupt:
Follow Steps 1 to 4 on page 25;
at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released five times. The system’s
response will be five siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing five times, pausing,
then repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter’s "Arm/Lock"
button to turn on the Automatic Starter Interrupt feature (the siren will chirp once)
or the "Disarm/Unlock" button to turn off the Automatic Starter Interrupt feature
(the siren will chirp twice).
#6 Ignition Activated Override:
Default Off
This feature allows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by
simply turning the ignition switch on within 10 seconds of the system’s activation.
After 10 seconds, the Emergency Override only can disarm the system in place of
the transmitter.

Certain conditions will prevent the engine from remotely starting, or if remotely
started already, will stop the running engine. These conditions are:
✓
A pressed brake pedal.
✓
The gear selector not being in the “park” or “neutral” position, or alternatively,
the parking brake not being set.
✓
An open hood.
✓
If manual transmission, the vehicle was entered or disturbed after the setup
procedure was performed.
An open door will not prevent the system from starting the engine; if the engine has
already been remotely started, opening a door will not stop the running engine,
unless the system is armed. Opening a door with the engine running by remote
control and the system armed will result in activating the system, which will stop
the running engine.
If a start command is sent from the transmitter, but any of the following
conditions are present, the system will not attempt to start the engine and will instead
have a short sounding of the siren to indicate a violated safety circuit.
The violated safety circuit conditions which can produce this indication are the gear
selector not in the “park” position, an open hood or trunk, or a pressed brake pedal.
To drive the vehicle away after remote starting, disarm the system (if needed)
open the door to enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn
the switch to “on” or “run” position (not “start”!). Then press the brake pedal or
remove the gear selector from “park”; now the engine is no longer running from the
system, but rather from the ignition key. To indicate this, the system will briefly
sound the siren. Pressing the Valet Switch will also turn off the system’s running
the engine, but without the violated safety circuit siren sounding.
“Stick Shift” Remote Starting Setup Procedure:
When the MAX-E
is installed into a manual transmission vehicle, programmable feature #35 must be
turned on. Then, whenever remote starting will be desired later the following
procedure must be followed before exiting the vehicle:
Step 1 With the engine running and foot on the brake, apply the parking brake, put
the transmission shifter in “neutral”, and remove your foot from the brake.
Step 2 Press and release the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock” and “Disarm/Unlock”
buttons together. The Status Light will begin flashing Green, and the
MAX-E is now keeping the vehicle’s engine running. Do not press the
brake pedal from this point, and the parking brake must remain on.
Step 3 Within 2 minutes, turn off the ignition key, exit the vehicle and then press
the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock” button to lock the vehicle. The MAX-E will
also arm, and the previously running engine will stop. The Status Light
