Remote starter features
Idle Mode
Convenience feature: Idle Mode allows you to keep the engine running and the doors locked
while you stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery.
This feature allows you to let the remote starter take control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the Ignition
Switch) while the engine is running.
To leave the vehicle in Idle Mode if your vehicle has an automatic transmission:
1. While the engine is running, make sure to release the brake pedal and press the ΙΙ button
on the remote control until the parking lights come on or you hear a series of clicks.
2. Remove the key and exit the vehicle. The engine will continue running.
The engine will continue running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the Engine
Run Time.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, Idle Mode can be activated through the same routine as
that used for Ready Mode; for the last step, the buttons Ι & ΙΙ are pressed together.
If the pre-programmed run time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote control, the
vehicle will be in Ready Mode.
Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle running in Idle Mode.
Turbo Mode
If Turbo Mode is configured at installation, it will allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves
the vehicle (the unit will take over the vehicle and keep it running for 60 seconds or until it is shut down
by remote control). The vehicle will remain in Ready Mode.
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission
, proceed as follows to set the system in Turbo
Mode:
1. With the engine running, make sure to release the brake pedal and press the buttons Ι & ΙΙ
on the transmitter until the parking lights come ON or you hear a series of clicks.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. The engine will continue running.
3. Exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood and trunk.
4. Press the buttons Ι & ΙΙ to lock the doors (the engine will shut down after 60 seconds).
Note: If your vehicle has a manual transmission, Turbo Mode can be activated only if button Ι is
programmed as LOCK or UNLOCK button. Turbo Mode is activated through the same routine as that
used for Ready Mode; at the last step, the button Ι is pressed.
Valet Modes
When your vehicle is in Valet Mode, the remote starter function is disabled. If the vehicle needs to be
serviced, or if you park it indoors, the Valet Mode will prevent the engine from being remote started
accidentally.
Ignition Valet
This feature will allow you to put your system into valet mode by using the ignition key instead of the
valet button (as below). Ignition valet can be used without a valet button installed.
To put the system into valet mode:
Insert the key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition ON then OFF 5 times in 10 seconds.
(Note: ON is the position before crank.)
The parking lights will flash three times to indicate that the system is now in valet mode.
The LED will turn ON solid.
To take the system out of valet mode:
Insert the key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition ON then OFF 5 times in 10 seconds.
(Note: ON is the position before crank.)
The parking lights will flash twice to indicate that the system is now out of valet mode.
The LED will go out or start to flash.
