LOW TEMPERATURE MODE •

In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine automatically when temperature falls

below a preset level.

Engine will run for programmed runtime, after which system will wait

hours and then start engine again

if temperature is still below preset level.

To activate/deactivate Low Temperature mode, press and ^ buttons simultaneously.

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 waits until it goes below preset level before starting.

For the engine to be able to start, a valid safety sequence has to be detected by the system (see "Safety

Sequence” on page 3).

If system cannot execute command (for example, safety sequence is not valid, hood is open, etc),

confirmation will be different (lights: 3).

When mode is deactivated:

Parking lights will flash twice to confirm that mode is deactivated. Applying brakes also deactivates Low

Temperature mode.
