LOW BATTERY/LOW TEMP AUTOMATIC STARTING
Other Remote Start Features
PIT-STOP FEATURE
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 foot off the brake pedal. Press the
Valet Switch twice; the antenna will beep 5 times. Turn the key off and the engine will remain running
for the programmed run time. You can lock your vehicle with the transmitter to keep it secure while
away.
This feature will automatically start the engine if the vehicle battery drops below 11 volts or the
interior temperature drop to 15 (or 32) degrees fahrenheit. You must activate these features each time
you park your car to use them. They can be activated one of two ways:
Method 1 - Valet Switch
• Turntheignitionswitch“on”,then“off”(enginenotrunning),andwithin7secondspressthevalet
switch twice. If there is a 2 second delay without additional valet button presses, the antenna will
beep 2 times activating low voltage start mode.
• Toactivatelowtempstarting,enterlowvoltagestartmodeasdescribedabovebut,aftertheanten-
na beeps twice, press the valet switch 1 time (15 degrees) or 2 times (32 degrees) within 5 seconds.
Theantennawillbeeptoconrmyourselection.
Method 2 - With The Transmitter
• Within5secondsofpressingLOCK,presstheSTARTbutton.Youwillhearonebeepfromthe
antenna.
NOTE: When low temp start mode is activated, low voltage start is also activated. These features will
operate once every two hours until the ignition key is turned “ON”.

LAST DOOR LOCKING/ARMING
 Thissystemcanbeconguredtoarmautomaticallywhenallthevehicle’sdoorsareclosed(see
programmable feature #2). When all of the doors are closed after driving the vehicle, it will start a 30
secondcountdown(indicatedbyafastashingstatuslight).After30seconds,thesystemwillarm
(andlockthedoorsifconguredtodoso).Duringthe30secondarmingdelay,ifapointofentryis
opened, the countdown will pause until all entry points are closed again. Turning ON the ignition key
will cancel the last door arming sequence until the key is turned off and the doors are all closed once
again.
Security System Features
AUTOMATIC RE-LOCKING
This automatically re-locks the doors if the system is disarmed from the remote. (see program-
mable feature #3). When unlocked by remote, the system will start a 90 second countdown (fast
ashingredstatuslight)tore-lockthesystem.Thisisusefulifthecontrolleraccidentallydisarmsthe
system when it’s kept in a purse or pocket where other items could potentially press the buttons. EN-
HANCED AUTO RE-LOCK allows you to cancel the countdown by pressing UNLOCK a second time
within 5 seconds.

Using The Valet Switch
EMERGENCY OVERRIDE
If you were to lose or break your controller, you’d need to perform an emergency override to disarm
the system. To do so, use the following steps:
STEP 1 - Enter the vehicle (the alarm may sound)
STEP 2 - Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position
STEP 3 - Press the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna) once
STEP 4 - Turn the ignition “OFF”.
The valet switch is a push button built into the window mount antenna. It is used to perform emer-
gency override and system programming (see inside of back cover for programming).
The Status Light
The status lights, located in the window-mount antenna, provide a visual indication of the system’s
status via GREEN (remote start status) and RED (alarm status) lights.
SECURITY SYSTEM STATUS (RED LIGHT):
OFF: The system is unlocked and not performing any automatic functions.
FLASHING SLOW: The system is locked and monitoring all entry points.
FLASHING FAST: One of the automatic arming features is in progress.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMITTER VERIFICATION (RED LIGHT):
Everytimeyouturnontheignitionkey,thestatuslightwillashanumberoftimesequaltothenum-
ber of controllers/transmitters programmed to the system. This unique security feature protects you
from a potential thief (valet attendant, mechanic, installer, etc.) adding their own transmitter without
and accessing your vehicle and it’s contents at a later time (the perfect crime!).
