q✔ A Pair of 4-Button/12-Channel Remote Controls— You will never again
fumble with your car keys in the dark or bad weather. The remote controls give
you fingertip command of all these exciting convenience features from a typical
range of 300 feet:
• Remotely start or shut down your car’s engine and all preset accessories
(heater, air conditioner, etc.)
• Remotely lock and unlock your vehicle’s power door locks. For your
convenience and security, when you remotely unlock the doors, your vehicle’s
interior courtesy light(s) will turn on and stay on for 30 seconds or until you
drive.
• Remotely activate the headlights for any duration of your choice between one
second and two minutes to light your way to and from your vehicle.
• Remotely activate an optional trunk release.
•If your vehicle has a factory-installed theft deterrent device, your Smart Remote
Starter III can be set to transform it into a completely remote controlled vehicle
security system.
q✔ Automatic Safety Checks — Your Smart Remote Starter III automatically
ensures that all of the following safety conditions are met or the vehicle will not
be remotely started:
• Transmission must be in park
•Engine and ignition must be off
•Engine must not be overheated
•Hood must be closed
q✔ Anti-Theft Measures — Your car may be driven only after your ignition key is
turned to the “ON” position. If anyone other than you tries to drive the vehicle
while the engine is running, the system immediately shuts down the engine if:
•The transmission is moved out of the park position
•The brake pedal is pressed
•Engine rpm exceeds a certain threshold
•The hood is opened
q✔ Visual Acknowledgment — Your car’s parking lights will blink twice to
acknowledge initiation of the engine start-up process and then remain on for
continuing visual confirmation for as long as the engine idles under the control of
your Smart Remote Starter III.

q✔ Cold Weather Cranking — Automatically cranks the engine for up to 10
seconds or until it starts, whichever occurs first. If the engine does not start, or
starts and then stalls, your Smart Remote Starter III will automatically try to
restart the engine up to two additional times.
q✔ AutoShutDown™ — The Smart Remote Starter III automatically shuts down the
engine after 30 minutes if the vehicle is left unattended.
q✔ StarterGuard™ — Prevents grinding of the starter if you inadvertently turn the
ignition switch to the starter position while the engine is running under the
control of your Smart Remote Starter III.
q✔ Remote Door Locking/Unlocking — A press of a button on the Smart Remote
Starter III remote control from up to 300 feet away will lock all the vehicle
doors. Remote door locking is visually confirmed by two flashes of the parking
lights. Press again and the doors will unlock, which is confirmed with a single
parking light flash.
q✔ AutoLock and AutoUnLock— For your safety when you begin driving, all the
doors automatically lock. Conversely, the doors automatically unlock when you
park and turn off the ignition. If you prefer, you may turn off one or both of these
features via program mode.
q✔ ShortStop Mode — Now you don’t need to shut off the engine when leaving
your car parked for a few moments (such as when stopping at a convenience
store or making a delivery). Just press button 2 while the engine is still running
and you can remove the keys, exit, and remotely lock the doors without shutting
down the engine.
q✔ AutoStart™ Battery Mode — Never again will you return to a dead car battery.
Whenever you wish, just a press of a button on your remote control sets the
system to continually monitor the vehicle battery while you are away. If the
battery’s voltage drops below a preset level, the system will automatically start
the engine and recharge the battery (to conserve battery power, the Smart Remote
Starter III will not activate the parking lights or any preset accessories in this
mode). Likewise, the system automatically shuts down the engine once the
battery is properly charged or after 30 minutes, whichever occurs first. If needed,
the process will repeat every eight hours until the battery is properly charged.
AutoStart is automatically canceled as soon as you drive your car.
