Preheating or Precooling the Vehicle’s interior
Before exiting the vehicle, set the temperature controls to the desired setting and
operation. After the system starts the vehicle, the heater or air conditioner will
activate and heat or cool the vehicle’s interior to your setting.
User Programmable Run Time / Run Time Extension
The system has the ability to allow the user to extend the time the vehicle will be
running under control of the remote start. This will only extend the run time back to
the current run time setting during the current remote start cycle. If your system is
set to run 15 minutes and the time remaining is 4 minutes, extending the run time
will reset the countdown timer to 15 minutes and your vehicle will continue to run
for another 15 minutes. Follow the steps below to extend the vehicle’s run time.
1. The remote start must already be active.
2. Press and release the button 4 times.
3. The system will chirp to confirm that the run time has been reset.
Operating the 2 / 3 Hour Start Up Timer Mode
The system has the ability to start the vehicle every 2 or 3 hours for a 48 hour
period. This feature is especially useful in cold climates where the only means to
keep the engine and engine fluids warm is to periodically start the engine. The
default setting is 3 hour, selection between 2 or 3 hour is made in option
programming.
WARNING!
Be certain that the vehicle is outdoors before using this or any remote starting
device. A running engine produces dangerous carbon monoxide fumes which can
be harmful or fatal if prolonged exposure occurs. DO NOT remote start the vehicle
if it is garaged.
Using the “Quick-stop” Feature
If you want to make a short stop and keep your vehicle running (to keep the
interior warm or cool), the quick-stop feature allows you to do this while keeping
your vehicle secure and your keys with you.
To engage quick stop:
1. Stop the vehicle and place the transmission in PARK.
2. With your foot off the brake pedal, press and release the button 2
times within 2 seconds. The LED will flash 3 times to confirm quick
stop is entered.
3. Remove the keys from the ignition and exit the vehicle. Press the
button to lock the vehicle’s doors if desired.
Note: Do not leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle when using the
quick-stop feature.
