ENGINE RUNTIME
Your engine will stop automatically after a preset runtime (set during the installation). Parking lights will stay on
as long as the engine is running.
TRIGGER INPUT
Your remote starter is equipped with a negative trigger (pulse) input.
This input can be connected to another remote control device or to an AstroStart RST-2
timer output (optional). Part number: 310-903-502.
If this input is connected, consult this device's manual or ask your technician which
command controls the Start/Stop function.
Start/Stop commands received on this input are ignored while engine is running on a
remote start.
All Start/Stop commands triggered on the input act the same as a remote control commands.

convenient feature allows you to leave your vehicle for short periods of time while climate controls remain on.

Parking lights, engine and preset accessories will remain on for the duration of the programmed runtime.

pedal
