Starter Kill / Anti-Grind
This added security feature will immobilize your vehicle when the system is armed
(LOCKED). If your Module was installed with the Starter Kill option, you will not be able to
start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been disarmed first (UNLOCKED).
The Starter Kill option can be programmed to be
ACTIVE (will not arm automatically) or PASSIVE
(will arm automatically). In
PASSIVE Mode, your installer can program it to arm automatically in
1 or 3 minutes.
Once the vehicle has been remote started, the Anti-Grind feature prevents the starter motor
from re-engaging when the ignition key is accidentally turned to the
CRANK position.
Note: Automobile insurance companies sometimes offer a rebate for vehicles with a
passive starter kill device.
Engine Run Time
(Gas 15 minutes, Diesel 20 minutes by default) If you have a gas engine, your system can
be programmed to run the engine for 3, 15, or 25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you
have a diesel engine, it can be programmed to run the engine for 8, 20, or 30 minutes).

vehicle, simultaneously press the

Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range Issues
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports,
cellular phone towers…)
Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor
range.
The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection
(in this case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the
vehicle is facing in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on –
standing in front of the vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best
