OPERATING ON AUTOMATIC START UP TIMER MODE
The APS-785 has the ability to automatically start the vehicle every 2 or 4 hours over a 48 hour

engine and engine fluids warm is to periodically start the engine.
CAUTION ! Be certain that the vehicle is outdoors before using this or any remote vehicle

which can be harmful or fatal if prolonged exposure occurs. DO NOT remote start
the vehicle if it is garaged.
