ENGINE RUNTIME
Your engine will stop automatically after a preset time (See "Setting the runtime" on page 8).
Parking lights will stay on as long as 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.
The start/stop commands received on this input are ignored while the engine is running on a remote
start.
All Start/Stop functions controlled by this input behave in the same way as functions controlled by remote.
CONTINUOUS MODE
Continuous Mode function lets you remove the key from the ignition while leaving the engine running. This convenient
feature allows you to leave your vehicle for short periods while climate controls remain on.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
VEHICLES
To access Continuous Mode, press on the
button while engine is idling (see STARTING THE
ENGINE
on page 6). If Turbo Mode is active, you must press a second time on the button of the
remote to set the runtime according to the preset settings.
Parking lights, engine and climate controls will remain on for the duration of the programmed
runtime.
MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
VEHICLES
To access Continuous Mode, press on the
button before removing the key from ignition when
performing the safety sequence described on page 3. See “STARTING the ENGINE“ on page 6.
Note: Do not send the stop command
if you perform sequence activated by the remote control
(Step 7) on page 3.
If Turbo Mode is on, it will be activated when the safety sequence is executed.
Remove the key, exit vehicle and lock all doors. All safety devices will remain active.
If you return to your vehicle before runtime has elapsed, just turn the key to RUN position and press the brake pedal.
TURBO MODE
(Activated at time of installation)
This mode allows the engine to be left running at idle speed for a short period of time so that the turbocharger can cool down
as recommended by certain car manufacturers.
This mode activates the continuous mode at a reduced runtime (one or two minutes according to the programming).
To activate the Turbo Mode:
• Automatic: Press on the
(2 sec.) button (refer to ‘Continuous Mode’).
• Manual: Perform the security sequence.

Remote control sends a Stop message.
Hood is open.
Brakes are applied.
Engine is over-revving (if programmed Enable at installation).
Alarm detects intrusion.
Main switch is OFF.
