REMOTE ENGINE CONTROL
REMOTE ENGINE STARTING - UNSUCCESSFUL START
In the event that the engine does not start on the first attempt, the system shuts down for a few seconds, then attempts to restart the engine a 2nd and 3rd time. For hard starting engines, the unit will allow a starter crank time of up to13 seconds maximum. This should provide ample cranking time for difficult starts, but is limited to 13 seconds to help prevent damage to the starter from over cranking in the case of a malfunctioning unit.
1)If engine starts on 2nd or 3rd attempt, see steps 4 & 5 above of "Successful Start".
2)If Third attempt fails to start engine, the system will turn off and doors will remain locked. NO FURTHER ATTEMPTS WILL BE MADE AUTOMATICALLY
TURNING OFF A REMOTE STARTED ENGINE:
1)Engine is running in Remote Start (Parking lights ON).
2)Press Remote Start button or for RS901 model activate Green Start input wire.
3)Engine turns & parking lights OFF, Doors remain locked or will
START
IDLE DOWN MODE:
This mode allows the unit to take over operation of the parked vehicle while the ignition key is removed and you exit the vehicle. The vehicle is put into a remote running condition before you exit and it will remain running for the programmed run time or until you come back.
Examples:
∙You pull up to a convenience store for a quick stop, "Idle Down" mode keeps engine running when you exit the vehicle, (with keys in hand) remote lock doors or arm alarm. When you return, unlock or disarm alarm, turn ignition ON and drive away.
∙On some Turbocharged vehicles it is recommended that the driver leave the car at idle for a short time before turning the car off to allow the turbo to cool down.
