Other Remote Start Features
It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines
allow the engine to idle for after driving to cool the turbocharger. When this Installer
Programmable Feature is enabled, the system will automatically keep the engine
running as follows:
• Withtheenginerunning,holdthebrakepedalandengagetheparkingbrake.
When the brake pedal is released, the system will keep the engine running for the
programmed time (1, 2, or 3 minutes), and then automatically turn it off.
• TurboTimercanbepreventedfromengaging,or“bypassed”ifdesired,byturning
the engine off before engaging the parking brake, or if it’s already engaged, step on
the brake pedal to turn the engine off.
This feature will automatically start the engine should the vehicle battery drop be-
low 11 volts. This feature is very useful when the vehicle is parked for a long period
of time in cold climates. You must activate this feature each time you park your car
and wish to use it.
• Turntheignitionswitch“on”,then“off”(enginenotrunning),andwithin7seconds
press the valet switch twice. The system is now in low voltage start mode.
NOTE: When low voltage start is activated, it will activate once every two hours
(maximum) until the ignition key is turned “ON”.

This feature allows you to leave your engine running for making quick errands. To
use this feature, have the engine running normally from the ignition switch and your
footoffthebrakepedal.PresstheValetSwitchtwice;theparkinglightswillash.
Turn the key off and the engine will remain running for the programmed run time.
TheStatusLighthelpstovisuallyconrmsthestatusofthesystemandprovides
a high level of visual deterrence. The Status Light is located in the window mount
receiver unit.
Normal System Status
1) Off = The remote starter system is off, in standby mode.
2) On Constant = The system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote starter system
disabled.
Starting System Status
The Status Light also indicates the remote start status:
3) Flashing Slow (once per second): Remote start is on.
4) Flashing Fast (after activating remote start): The system is in the process of start-
ing the engine.
Remote Starting Diagnostics
Whenever the system is placed into Valet Mode, the Status Light(optional) illumi-
natessolid.However,whenthisrstoccurs,theStatusLightwillash1to6ashes
before resuming solid illumination. This indicates why the engine stopped running
from the last previous remote starting attempt.
5) 1 Flash = Programmed run time expired.
6) 2 Flashes = Brake was pressed or hood opened.
7) 3 Flashes = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.
8) 4 Flashes = Received transmitter command to stop.
9) 5 Flashes = Gear selector removed from “park”.
10) 6 FLashes = Low voltage.
The Status Lights
Valet Mode
Valet mode disables the remote start feature. It should be used, for example,
when you have your vehicle serviced. To engage Valet Mode:
• Withthesystem“unlocked”,pressandholdtheValetSwitchfor3seconds;the
Status Light(optional) will turn on to indicate Valet Mode. Attempts to remote start
will result in no response. Keep this in mind if remote start stops functioning.
• ToturnoffValetMode,simplypress&releasetheValetSwitchonce.TheStatus
Light will turn off.
Using The Valet Switch
Step 1 Have all transmitters which are to operate the system at hand. Then,
turn the ignition “on”.
Step 3 Press the button on each remaining transmitter one at a time. The sys-
temwillturnthelightsoffthenbackontoconrmthateachwaslearned.Ifacode
is not received within a 10 second period, the learning process will automatically
terminate, as indicated by the lights turning off.
Step 4 Turn the vehicle’s ignition key “off”.
Step 2 Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5
times.Thestatuslight(optional)andparkinglightswillilluminate,conrmingthatfor
the next 10 seconds the system is ready to learn a transmitter/controller code. To
enteracode,simplypressandreleasethetransmitterbutton.Whentherstcodeis
learned all existing stored codes will be erased.
Standard Programming: Before starting, be sure the system is in an “unlocked”
state by using a working transmitter or performing a manual override.
Code JumpingTM Technology
Code jumping technology uses a complex algorithm to change the transmitter’s
codes every time a button is pressed to prevent a thief from copying the signal. Only
the system in your car has the key to decipher this code and it is not replicable.
Automatic Transmitter VericationTM
There the potential threat of someone, who has temporary access to your ve-
hicle, programming their own transmitter to your system. For example, a mechanic,
car wash attendant, or valet could do so and gather your personal info from any
paper work in your vehicle. Then, they could visit your home and help themselves
to the contents of your vehicle without any signs of intrusion. Many crimes go un-
noticed and people assume they have misplaced their belongings. ATVTM shows you
howmanytransmittersareprogrammedtoyoursystembyashingthestatuslight
(optional) every time you turn on the ignition key for a 10 second period. Then, you
can easily identify if transmitters have been added to your system.

User Programmable Features
This group of Installer Programmable Features are all accessed as a group in the
second level of features’ programming. These features have a direct affect upon the
system’s operations related to the installation and vehicle type AND SHOULD ONLY
BE CHANGED BY THE INSTALLER!!!
Feature #1 Remote Start Activation
1 button presses (press the brake pedal 1 time to program)
2 button presses (press the brake pedal 2 times to program) - DEFAULT
3 button presses (press the brake pedal 3 times to program)
4 button presses (press the brake pedal 4 times to program)
This feature allows you to choose the number of button presses AND pulses
required on the White/Blue activation wire to activate the remote start feature. All of
the settings must occur within a 5 second window of the previous button press.
Feature #3 Engine Detection Method
Tachless Hi (press the brake pedal 1 time to program) - DEFAULT
Tachless Lo (press the brake pedal 2 times to program)
Tach Wire (press the brake pedal 3 times to program)
Data Tach (press the brake pedal 4 times to program)
Crank Only (press the brake pedal 5 times to program)
This feature selects the method in which the remote start monitors the engine’s run-
ning condition in remote start mode.
“Tachless Hi” sensitivity mode has an associated base starter output time duration
(see installer feature #7) and monitors the vehicle’s voltage level to determine if the
engine is running. This setting looks for a voltage increase of 0.3v after cranking.
“Tachless Lo” sensitivity mode operates like the “Tachless Hi” setting but looks for
a voltage increase of 0.5v after cranking.
“Tach Wire” Before this setting is programmed, refer to the “Violet/White wire” sec-
tion of the installation manual for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learn Pro-
cedure. It will crank the engine for up to 3 seconds or until a tach signal is detected.
“Data Tach” mode operates just like the “Tach Wire” setting except it takes its
reading from the D2D data port instead of using the Violet/White wire. Before using,
make sure this function is supported by the Databus Interface module.
“Crank Only” AKA “blind start” is similar to the “Tachless” settings however, it only
makes one start attempt and does not monitor engine running conditions. This is
useful for many “push-to-start” vehicles.
