LOW TEMPERATURE MODE
In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine automatically when the temperature falls below a preset
level.
Engine will run for programmed runtime, after which the system will wait 2½ hours and then start the engine again if
temperature is still below preset level.
To activate/cancel Low Temperature mode, press
and buttons simultaneously (2 sec.).
When mode is activated
Parking lights will flash 4 times, then, if temperature is below preset level, engine will start.
If temperature is above preset level, system will wait until it goes below the preset level before starting engine.
In the case of a manual transmission vehicle, the system must have detected a valid security sequence to allow the
activation of Low Temperature mode. (see ‘Safety sequence for manual transmission vehicles’ on page 3).
If system cannot execute command (for example, security sequence not valid, hood is open), confirmation will be different
(lights: 3).
When mode is cancelled
Parking lights will flash twice to confirm that mode is cancelled. Applying brakes cancels Low Temperature mode.
S ETTING THE START TEMPERATURE
To change preset temperature at which you want your Remote Starter to start
engine, press (2 sec.), then press (2 sec.)
and buttons simultaneously
(lights: 1 - 4).
Parking lights will flash from 1 to 4 times to indicate selected start temperature (see
table opposite).
If you send command when ignition has been turned on (by Remote Starter or key),
preset start temperature does not change. However, confirmation is still sent to
indicate last selection.
S ETTING THE RUNTIME
Press (2 sec.) and buttons simultaneously (parking lights: 1 - 4).
Parking lights flash one to four times to indicate selected runtime (see table
opposite).
If you send this command while the ignition circuits are activated (by remote or
engine running), runtime does not change but confirmation is sent to indicate last
selection.
If Low Temperature mode is already activated when this command is sent, the
command sets or indicates Low Temperature mode runtime.
Note: Runtime is doubled for a diesel engine.
1 A runtime of 2 minutes (4 min. for a diesel engine ) is not recommended for most vehicles unless you intend to drive off immediately after the remote start. This
selection is not available in Low Temperature mode.
