TURBO TIMER FEATURE

PIT-STOP FEATURE

This feature allows you to leave your engine running for making quick errands. To use this fea-

ture, have the engine running normally from the ignition switch and your foot off the brake pedal�

Press the Valet Switch twice; the parking lights will ash and the horn chirps 5 times. Turn the key

off and the engine will remain running for the programmed run time�

MANUAL TRANSMISSION STARTING

Remote starting with a manual transmission requires a different installation method and

installer feature #5 must be turned on� Also, a setup procedure that ensures the transmission was left in neutral must be performed each time you leave your vehicle and intend to use remote start later� Perform these steps:

1) With the engine running, hold the brake pedal, apply the parking brake, then release the brake pedal�

2) Use the transmitter as if you were activating remote start (default: press START twice)� The

green status light will start to ash slow.

3) Turn off the ignition key and exit the vehicle�

4) Press LOCK on the transmitter� The engine will shut down (unless turbo timer is on) and the

status light will ash green every 2 seconds to indicate it is ready to be remote started.

NOTE: Manual transmission starting is canceled if you enter the vehicle after performing the setup procedure.

Other Remote Start Features (cont’d)

This is recommended for vehicles equipped with a turbocharger. It allows the engine to idle af-

ter driving to cool the turbo� When this Installer Programmable Feature (#4) is enabled, the system will automatically keep the engine running as follows:

• With the engine running, hold the brake pedal and engage the parking brake.

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�

• The system may be locked while the engine is running. Turbo Timer can be prevented from

engaging, or “bypassed” if desired, by turning the engine off before engaging the parking brake�

Passive Arming/Locking Features

LAST DOOR ARMING

This system can be congured to arm the starter interrupt (optional) and/or lock automatically when all the vehicle’s doors are closed (see user feature #2)� When this feature is utilized, the horn will chirp once when all of the doors are closed� At that point, it will start a 30 second

countdown (indicated by a fast ashing status light). After 30 seconds, the system will arm and/or

lock the doors� During the 30 second 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 locking

sequence until the key is turned off and the doors are all closed once again.

AUTOMATIC REARMING

This automatically rearm the starter interrupt (optional) and/or lock the doors if the system is unlocked from the remote� (see user feature #3)� When unlocked by remote, the system will start a 90 second countdown (fast ashing status light) to lock the doors. This is useful if the controller accidentally unlocks the system when it’s kept in a purse or pocket where other items could potentially press the buttons� ENHANCED AUTO REARM allows you to cancel the countdown by

pressing UNLOCK a second time within 5 seconds of the rst press.

8

EMERGENCY OVERRIDE

If your controller becomes inoperable, you’d need to perform an emergency override to disarm the starter interrupt� To do so, use the following steps:

STEP 1 - Enter the vehicle STEP 2 - Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position STEP 3 - Press the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna) once

NOTE: Enter your SecureCode at this time if programmed via user feature #1

STEP 4 - Turn the ignition “OFF”�

VALET MODES

VALET MODE, while active, completely disables all security functions� Keyless en- try & remote start are still operable� To enter valet mode, perform the following steps: STEP 1 - Unlock the system either with the controller or by performing an emergency override (make sure NOT to hold the brake pedal)� STEP 2 - Press and hold the valet switch for 2 seconds� The system will chirp once and the RED status light will turn on� REMOTE START VALET MODE, disables remote start only� Keyless entry and passive lock functions still operate� To enter remote start valet mode, perform the following steps:

STEP 1 - Unlock the system (by remote or by emergency override) STEP 2 - Hold the brake pedal then press and hold the valet switch for 2 seconds�

The system will chirp once and the GREEN status light will turn on� FULL VALET MODE combines both normal & remote start valet modes� To acti- vated full valet mode, follow these steps:

STEP 1 - Enter remote start valet� You will hear a chirp� STEP 2 - Release the brake pedal but continue holding the valet switch� After 2 sec-

onds, you will hear a second chirp� STEP 3 - Immediately release the valet switch� The status light will alternate between RED and GREEN every second� EXITING VALET MODES - Press and release the valet switch once� The status light will turn off� This procedure is the same for all forms of valet mode�

SECURECODE

SecureCode allows you to customize the number of valet presses required to perform an emergency override. SecureCode has 2 stages with the rst requiring 1-9 button valet presses and the second requiring 0-9 valet button presses. This gives

you 99 possible combinations� To program a custom SecureCode, please refer to user feature #1� To perform an emergency override with SecureCode, use the following steps:

STEP 1 - Enter the vehicle� STEP 2 - Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position� STEP 3 - Within 5 seconds of step 2, press the valet switch to enter the rst digit of

your programmed code�

STEP 4 - After a few seconds, the horn will chirp once (conrming stage 1). STEP 5 - Now, within 5 seconds of step 4, press the valet switch to enter the second

digit of your code� If the code is correct, the starter interrupt will disarm� If the code is entered incorrectly, turn the ignition key OFF, then back ON to try again� If 2 failed attempts are made, no further attempts can be made for 2 minutes�

Using The Valet Switch

The Status Light

The status lights, located in the antenna, provide a visual indication of the system’s status via GREEN (remote start status) and RED (system status) lights�

SYSTEM STATUS (RED LIGHT): ON CONSTANT: The system is in valet mode� FLASHING FAST: One of the automatic locking 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 number of transmitters programmed to the system. This unique security

feature protects you from a potential thief (valet attendant, mechanic, installer, etc�) from adding their own transmitter without your knowledge and accessing your vehicle and it’s contents at a later time (the perfect crime!)�

REMOTE START STATUS (GREEN LIGHT): OFF: The remote start is off and in standby mode� ON CONSTANT: The remote start is in valet mode� FLASHING SLOW: The engine was started successfully and is running� FLASHING FAST: The remote start sequence has begun and is in process of starting

the vehicle’s engine� 1 FLASH EVERY 2 SECONDS: System is ready to remote start in manual transmission mode�

REMOTE START DIAGNOSTICS (GREEN LIGHT):

The remote start system can also indicate which zone caused the last remote start cycle was ended� To see this indicator, place the system into valet mode� Immediately

after the chirp, the GREEN status light will ash to indicate what caused remote start

to end�

1 FLASH: Run time expired� 2 FLASHES: Brake pedal was pressed� 3 FLASHES: Engine stalled or a bad tach signal� 4 FLASHES: Received transmitter command to stop� 5 FLASHES: Gear selector was moved from park(or the parking brake was released)� 6 FLASHES: Low battery voltage� COMBINATION INDICATIONS:

This indication reect combinations of functions involving the keyless entry system

AND remote start�

SLOWLY ALTERNATES GREEN/RED: System is in full valet mode� SOLID RED W/ GREEN FLASH: System is in valet w/ remote start activated�

10

Anti-Carjacking Protection

The system is equipped with two separate Anti-Carjacking protection features (ignition, open door, or both)� All are programmable, and must be turned on to operate� Once activated, the user has 53 seconds to cancel the Anti-Carjacking protection process (described below)� If Anti-Carjacking is not cancelled, 53 seconds after being activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the user that the system is about to enter into an alarm condition� The Valet Switch may still be pressed once during this period to cancel the Anti-Carjacking process� If the Anti-Carjacking process is not cancelled before the 60 second countdown

expires, the system will enter an alarm condition, sounding the siren and ashing the

parking lights� 30 seconds after this occurs, or should the ignition be turned off in the meantime, the stater interrupt will engage� Once the system enters the alarm condition, it will not respond to the transmitter, nor will the system reset automatically after 60 seconds, and it can only be disengaged by:

Step 1 Turning the vehicle’s ignition off� Step 2 Turning the ignition back on� Step 3 Within 5 seconds, perform an Emergency Override using the Valet Switch� If

the SecureCode has been customized, the correct number of Valet Switch presses must be made�

The different types of Anti-Carjacking protection are:

Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking activates every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on� The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds of activating to cancel Anti-Carjacking� This is User Programmable Feature #15� Door Anti-Carjacking activates when a door is opened after the vehicle is started and the engine is running� The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds after activation to cancel Anti-Carjacking� This is User Programmable Feature #15�

11

If the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is on, programming a transmitter to the system will activate the “UTA” warning and the extended Status Light indication� For the next 48 hours, the siren/horn will sound a brief series of chirps every time the

vehicle’s ignition key is turned on�

Special Programming procedure to turn on the UTA feature: Using this method to program transmitters or optional controllers, and to turn on the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature� Follow the same steps as the Standard Programming, but on any transmitter/controller being programmed instead of pressing the “lock” button, press the “lock” and the “unlock” buttons together� This action turns on the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature and at the same time programs the transmitter or controller to operate the system�

Once the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is turned on, the warning will sound for 48 hours after any transmitter programming� This feature can only be turned off again by sending the system back to Omega for a reset�

Standard Programming: This method to program additional or replacement transmitters does not affect the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert (UTA) feature� Before you begin, have all transmitters which are to operate the system at hand�

Step 1 Then, turn the ignition “on”� Step 2 Within 5 seconds of Step 1, press the Valet Switch 5 times� The siren/horn will

briey sound, conrming that the system is ready to learn a transmitter code.

Step 3 Press the “lock” button on each transmitter one at a time� The system will

chirp the siren/horn once to conrm that each was learned. If a code is not received

within 10 seconds of Step 2, the learning process will automatically exit�
