Using Your Remote Starter
Starting Your Vehicle
The remote start function is activated by pressing a button on your
existing remote control (please see your installer for Remote Start
Sequence). The system will check the vehicle to ensure that it is safe
to start, and if all safety parameters are correct, the engine will start
within 5 seconds (diesel engines will take longer.) Repeat the START
sequence again to turn off the vehicle.
If your vehicle stalls or does not start...
If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the F40/F45 will pause 5
seconds, then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of four
attempts). The system pauses 5 seconds between each start attempt.
If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the F40/F45 will
abort the start process.
Your vehicle can be started by remote control whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
Remote Start Safety Features
For safety and security reasons, the F40/F45 will shut off the vehicle
during remote start if any of the following occur:
• The vehicle hood is opened
• The brake is pressed before the vehicle ignition is turned on
with the key
• The engine reaches 3 times its normal idle*
As a safety precaution, the vehicle will shut off if left unattended for
up to 12 or 25 minutes, depending on the time preset by your installer.
