Using Your System
Remote Start
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for a
programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm
up the engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle with the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling
is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower
must be set to the desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle.
Important! (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with
the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the
vehicle with the key in the ignition.
For instructions on how to activate/deactive your remote start system,
refer to the SmartStart User's guide.
When you are ready to drive the vehicle:
1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON (not the START) posi-
tion.
2. Press the brake pedal. The remote start system shuts down but the
motor continues to run because the ignition has been turned on.
The vehicle now operates as usual.
Note: If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position,
the engine will shut down.
While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the system
monitors the vehicle and automatically shuts down the engine if the
system receives any of the following Shut-down inputs:

• The brake pedal is pressed.
• The hood is opened.
• The shutdown toggle switch is put into the OFF position
• The pre-programmed run time has elapsed.
• The procedure to activate remote start is repeated.
Valet Take-Over
The Valet Take-Over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after
the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful if you
want to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods of time, but would like
to leave the motor running and the climate controls on.
To perform Valet Take-Over:
1. Before turning off the engine, send Remote Start command from
your SmartStart application.
2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position (The engine will stay
running).
3. The engine will run until the pre-programmed time elapses or a
shut-down input is received. (See the previous section for a com-
plete list of shut-down inputs.)
Note: This feature will not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.
Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry
prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start
position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to
the start position during remote start operation.
Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is
op er at ing the motor and the optional relay is installed.

Disabling the Remote Start system
This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be temporarily
disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally.
This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an
enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle
switch to the OFF position. The switch can be installed in a location
of your choice. Check with your installer for recommended locations.

Programming options
Programming options control your system’s normal, operational set-up.
Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require
installation labor. See your authorized Directed dealer for more details.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory
settings in bold.
• 12, 24, or 60 minute run time. Your system can be programmed
to allow the vehicle to run for 12, 24, or 60 minutes when remote
started. Can be set up to minute increments by your installer.
• Parking lights flashing or constant. Your system can be pro-
grammed to flash or turn on the parking lights constantly during the
entire remote start operation.
