Flashing LED
The user may decide to turn on or off LED flashing at any moment. To do so, simultaneously press
and hold the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter. Keep holding the buttons until the
parking lights flash three (3) times. At that point release the buttons. The LED will toggle to its next
state –i.e.: ON/OFF:
There are three programmable options regarding the flashing LED:
i. The LED flashes once the starter kill is activated (passive or active arming) and will turn itself
off once the user turns the key to the
IGNITION ON position.
ii. The LED is totally disabled and will not flash –it will turn on solid however when in valet
mode.
iii. The LED will flash once the starter kill is activated but requires pressing the
UNLOCK button to
turn itself off. Failure to press the
UNLOCK button will make the LED flash even if the key is in
the
IGNITION ON position.
Safe Start
If this feature is enabled, the user must press the
START/STOP button 2 times within 3 seconds to
remote-start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing
with the transmitter.
If swap start mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle, press the
PANIC/AUX button and then
the
LOCK button. The AUX 2 output can be activated by pressing the START/STOP button.
Ignition-Controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your remote starter was installed with the ignition-controlled
door locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the OFF position,
the doors will automatically be unlocked.
Ignition Re-lock
On remote starters of this series, when ignition-controlled door locks are enabled and the ignition
key is in the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors will be
relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed.
Secure Lock
Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the remote starter must first disarm the factory security
system. The secure lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory security
systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed.
To keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start,
secure lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle
ends, secure lock will rearm your factory security system.
Turbo Mode
When left in turbo mode, the remote starter will keep the engine running for 60 seconds before
shutting it down. This is to allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle. See
Turbo Mode section on page 5.
Remote Trunk Release
If your system was installed with the remote trunk release option, you can open your trunk by
pressing the
TRUNK button.
Engine Run Time
If you have a gas engine, your remote starter can be programmed to run the engine for 4, 15, or
25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the remote starter can be
programmed to run the engine for 9, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default).
