Timer Mode operation
Activation begins a countdown timer as set in the

engine shuts off, the
REMOTE START DEACTIVATED
message is sent to the
remote control and the countdown timer restarts. This will repeat as

Smart Start operation

remote control and the countdown timer restarts. Smart Start is exited
