P. 22 Installation Guide
Bypass
Remote starters of this series offer three possibilities for bypass D2D: they are compatible with
Trilogix, ADS and Fortin bypasses (Trilogix by default).
Engine Run Time
On a gas engine, the Remote Car Starter can be programmed to run the engine for 3, 15, or
25 minutes (15 minutes by default). On a diesel engine, the Remote Car Starter can be
programmed to run the engine for 8, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes by default).
Idle Mode
Convenience feature: Idle Mode allows the user to keep the engine running and the doors
locked while they stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery.
This feature allows the user 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 the vehicle has an automatic transmission:
1. With the engine running, make sure to release the brake pedal and press the ΙΙ button on the
remote control until the parking lights come on.
2. Remove the key and exit the vehicle. The engine will continue running.
3. Lock the doors if needed.
Note: The engine will continue running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of
the engine run time.
If the vehicle has a manual transmission, Idle Mode can be activated through the same
routine as that used for Ready Mode (see in this Guide); at the last step, the buttons Ι & ΙΙ are
pressed together.
Note: If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote
control, the vehicle will enter 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.
If the vehicle has an automatic transmission
, proceed as follows to set the system to 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.
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 the 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.
Note: The vehicle will enter Ready Mode once the engine run time expires.
Cold Weather Mode
If the vehicle has a manual transmission, Ready mode should be set before entering cold weather
mode. When cold weather mode is active, the engine starts every 2 hours and runs for 3 minutes
(or for 8 or 20 minutes with diesel engines). Cold weather mode automatically ends after 24 hours
(or 12 starts).
