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
(Disabled by default.) 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.
Turbo Mode
When left in Turbo Mode, the Remote Car Starter will keep the engine running for 60 seconds
before shutting it down. This is to allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the
vehicle. See Turbo Mode section earlier in this Guide.
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 or by pressing the
TRUNK
button
TWICE
within 3 seconds.
Engine Run Time
If you have a gas engine, your Remote Car Starter can be programmed to run the engine for 4, 15,
or 25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the Remote Car Starter can be
programmed to run the engine for 9, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default).
Extended Run Time
With the vehicle running under a remote start, pressing and holding the
START
button for more than
1 second will reset the run time counter to zero and restart the run time cycle from the beginning.
To stop the vehicle, at any moment, simply press the
STOP
button. This procedure can only be
carried out once per remote start.
Example: if your Module is programmed for a run time of 4 minutes and your vehicle has been
running for 3 minutes already, pressing the
START
button will reset the counter to zero and the
Engine will run for another cycle (in this case, 4 minutes).
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with the same Remote Car Starter
model, to control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle,
simultaneously press the
TRUNK
button and the button of the function you wish to use.
Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer.
