and try to start the engine again. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission ,
there will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up.
Driving Off
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the
UNLOCK
button to
DISARM
and
UNLOCK
the doors (if installed). Enter the vehicle and do the following:
• Turn the ignition key to the
IGNITION ON (RUN)
position.
• Press the brakes to disengage the remote starter unit.
You are now ready to drive off.
Caution: do not turn the key to the

the starter motor to re-engage, unless your vehicle is equipped with the Start Kill / Anti-
Grind Feature (Optional).
Remote starter features
Idle Mode
Convenience feature: Idle Mode allows you to keep the engine running and the doors
locked while you stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery.
This feature allows you to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in
the Ignition Switch) while the engine is running. For example, if you stop for a delivery or at a
convenience store, lock your vehicle and leave it running for the length of a run cycle while
you are away.
To leave the vehicle in Idle Mode if your vehicle has an automatic transmission:
1. With the engine running, press the
LOCK
or
UNLOCK
button (to unlock the doors) or
the
START
button on the remote control until the parking lights come on.
2. Remove the key and exit the vehicle. The engine will go on running.
3. Lock the doors if needed.
The engine will go on running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the
Engine Run Time.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, Idle Mode can be activated through the same
routine as that used for Ready Mode; at the last step, the
TRUNK
button is pressed instead of
the other buttons:
4. Ensure that the doors are all closed and that the gearshift lever is in the Neutral
position.
5. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake
pedal.
• Make sure to release the brake pedal.
6. Within 20 sec. push
LOCK
,
UNLOCK
or
START/STOP
on the transmitter.
• The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
7. Remove the key: the engine will go on running.
8. Exit the vehicle and close the door.
9. Press
the
TRUNK
button until the system is armed (the doors will be locked if remote
door lock is installed).
If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote
control, the vehicle will get in Ready Mode.
Caution: Do not leave children or pets unattended in a car running in Idle Mode.
