Ignition-controlled Door Locks

This is an added security feature. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Ignition-
Controlled Door Locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is
turned to the

IGNITION ON (RUN)

position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the

OFF

position, the doors will automatically be unlocked.

Ignition Re-lock

On Remote Car Starters of this series, when Ignition-controlled Door Locks are enabled and the
ignition key is in the

IGNITION ON (RUN)

position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors

will be relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed.

Secure Lock

Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the Remote Car Starter must first disarm the factory
security system. The Secure Lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory
security systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed.
To keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start,
Secure Lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle
ends, Secure Lock will rearm your factory security system.

Remote Trunk Release

If your system was installed with the Remote Trunk Release option, you can open your trunk by
pressing the

TRUNK

button for 3 seconds on the remote transmitter.

The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature

With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition
key when the Starter Kill is armed. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Starter Kill
option, one will not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked
and disarmed first, or put into Valet Mode.

Note: If the Starter Kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter
motor damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of
habit, turn the ignition key to the

CRANK

position.

Safe Start

If this feature is enabled, the user must press the

START

button 2 times within 3 seconds to remote-

start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing with the
transmitter.
If Swap Start Mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle press

LOCK

and

UNLOCK

simultaneously. The

AUX 2

output can be activated by pressing the

START

button.
