is running, but will still lock the Doors.
Smart Secure Lock
If the vehicle is initially locked, upon remote START the Remote Car Starter will trigger an
unlock pulse and a disarm pulse before the Engine is started. The Remote Car Starter will
LOCK again when the Engine is running, and LOCK once again 4 seconds after shut-down.
If the vehicle is initially unlocked, upon remote
START the Remote Car Starter will start the
Engine and arm the Starter Kill, but the Doors will not be locked or unlocked at any moment
of the sequence.
Lock Pulse Duration
(7/10-sec. pulses by default.) The duration of the Lock and Unlock pulses can be
configured as follows:
• (Default) 7/10-sec. LOCK and 7/10-sec. UNLOCK pulses
• 4-sec. LOCK/UNLOCK pulses to control vacuum Door Lock systems
• A single 7/10-sec. LOCK pulse and two 1/4-sec. UNLOCK pulses
for double-pulse disarm/unlock systems.
Engine Run Time
• 1/10-sec. LOCK and 1/10-sec. UNLOCK pulses
(15/20 min. by default.) Use this Function to configure the length of time the Engine will be
left running under remote control. The Remote Car Starter will allow the Engine to run for
either 4, 15 or 25 min. in Gas Mode and 9, 20 or 30 min. in Diesel Mode. Standard default
Run Time is 15 minutes in Gas mode and 20 minutes in Diesel mode.
