Using the Remote Car Starter
Arming the Starter Kill
The Starter Kill (if installed) can be configured by the installer so as to arm automatically (Passive
Mode) or not to arm automatically (Active Mode). See section Passive or active arming, later in
this guide, for more details on Passive Mode and Active Mode.
• To disarm the Starter Kill, press the UNLOCK button on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash twice.
If remote door locks are installed, this will also unlock the doors.
• To arm the Starter Kill, press the LOCK button on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash once.
If remote door locks are installed, this will also lock the doors.
• In Passive Mode, the Starter Kill will automatically arm if the ignition key is not inserted
Into the ignition switch within 1 or 3 minutes after unlocking (the key sense feature
must be installed).
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 over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the
Ignition Switch) while the engine is running. For example, if you stop for a delivery or at a conveni-
ence store, lock your vehicle and leave it running for the length of a run cycle while you are away.
Idle Mode can be activated through the same routine as that used for Ready Mode; at the last step,
the
TRUNK button is pressed instead of the other buttons:
1. Ensure that all the Doors are closed and that the Shifter is in the Neutral position.
2. With the Engine already running, apply the Parking Brake and release the Brake Pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. push LOCK, UNLOCK or START on the Transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the Engine will go on running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close the Door.
6. Press the TRUNK button until the system is armed (the doors will be locked if remote
door lock is installed).
If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote control, the
vehicle will get in Ready Mode.
Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing 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), then shut down the engine and set the Remote Car Starter to
Ready Mode.
To activate Turbo Mode, follow all steps of the Ready Mode routine :
1. Ensure that all the doors are closed and that the shifter is in the neutral position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. press LOCK, UNLOCK or START on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
