Accessing another feature:
1. Press and release the programming button a number of times to advance from the current feature to the next desired feature.
2. The LED flashes green slowly the number of times equal to the feature number. After a short delay, the LED flashes red rapidly
to indicate the current option of the current feature. The flashing sequence will repeat until a new command is entered.
When the maximum number of features or options is reached, the LED will start flashing again from the first feature or option.
Exiting feature programming:
To exit feature programming, press and hold the programming button for 3 seconds or ensure there is no activity on the interface
for 30 seconds. The LED will turn ON orange for 2 seconds to confirm the end of the programming sequence.

Get In and Go
Get In and Go is designed to provide users with easy takeover when entering their Push-to-Start
(PTS) equipped vehicle, once it has been remote started.
Typically, users would have to remote start their vehicle, then get inside and press the PTS button
to perform a takeover. There is therefore a physical action required to drive away. With Get In
and Go, you simply remote start the vehicle, unlock the doors, get in and go... All that's left to do
is put the gear in drive and drive off.
