shut down inputs
This system uses several inputs to shut down the remote start
operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain inputs are
active. These are the hood and brake inputs. The hood input will
prevent the motor from starting, as well as shut it down, any time
the hood is opened. The brake pedal will shut down the motor at
any time during remote start operation, as well as preventing the
remote start from activating while it is being pressed.

The receiver and 2-way remotes use a mathematical formula
called an algorithm to change their code each time the 2-way
remote is used. This technology has been developed to increase
the security of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes
should be. This helps to keep the 2-way remote “in sync” with the
control unit even if you use the remote control out of range of the
vehicle. However, if the remote has been pressed many times out
of range of the vehicle, or the battery has been removed, it may fall
out of sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system. To
re-sync the remote simply press several times within range of
the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to
the 2-way remotes normally.
