settings durring installation. These durations are doubled for deisel vehicles.
Parking lights will stay on as long as the engine is running.

Your remote starter is equipped with a negative trigger (pulse) input.
This input can be connected to another remote control device or to an AstroStart RST-2 timer
output (optional), part number 310-903-502.
If this input is connected, consult this device's manual or ask your technician which command
controls the Start/Stop function.
Commands received on this input are ignored while engine is running on a remote start.
All Start/Stop commands triggered on the input act the same as a remote control commands.

feature allows you to leave your vehicle for short periods while climate controls remain on.
