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 conveni-
ence 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/STOP 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:
1. Ensure that all the Doors are closed and that the Shifter is in the Neutral position.
2. With the Engine already running, apply the Parking Brake and release the Brake Pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. push LOCK , UNLOCK or START/STOP on the Transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the Engine will go on running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close the Door.
6. 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 vehicle standing in Idle Mode.
Valet Modes
When your vehicle is in valet mode, the remote starter functionalities are disabled. If the vehicle
needs to be serviced, or if you park it indoors, the valet mode will prevent the engine from being
remote-started accidentally.
When the vehicle is set to valet mode, the LED remains ON (it does not flash). The LED will
turn itself off ONLY when the ignition key is turned to the
IGNITION ON position.
Ignition Valet
This feature will allow you to remotely put your system into Valet Mode by using the ignition key
instead of the Valet button as above. Ignition Valet can be used without a Valet button installed.
To put the system i n t o Valet Mode:
• Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. Within 10 sec., turn the key 5 times
successively into the IGNITION ON / RUN and OFF positions.
• The parking lights will flash three times to indicate that the vehicle is now in Valet Mode.
