Using Your System Warning! Safety First The following safety warnings must be observed at all times: ■ Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized DEI dealer.
THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions are the sole responsibility of the user. ■ Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED DEI DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DEI WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
NOTE: For Passive Mode to be effective, the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay must be installed. Unlocking/Disarming Pressing for one second disarms the system and unlocks the doors (if connected). The horn will honk twice (if connected) and the parking lights will flash twice to confirm disarming of the system. The optional Failsafe® Starter Kill will be deactivated. The status LED will turn off, unless the system is programmed for Passive Mode.
Valet® Mode You can prevent your system from automatically activating the optional Failsafe® Starter Kill and locking the doors by using Valet® Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet® Mode, the optional starter kill cannot be activated, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, remote start, etc.) will continue to work normally. To enter or exit Valet® Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3.
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.
When you are ready to drive the vehicle: 1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON (not the START) position. 2. Press the brake pedal. 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 will monitor the vehicle and will automatically shut down the engine if the system receives any of the following shut-down inputs: ■ The brake pedal is pressed. ■ The hood is opened.
To perform Valet® Take-Over: 1. Before turning off the engine, press and release and on the transmitter (or press and release the optional momentary switch). 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 Remote Start section for a complete list of shut-down inputs.) NOTE: This feature will not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.
The engine may be allowed to run for its pre-programmed time period, or it can be shut down while running during Timer Mode operation by pressing Buttons and again. In either case, the vehicle will restart every three hours for a total of six operation cycles.
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.
Rapid Resume Logic This DEI® system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet® Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.
■ Passive Mode or Active Mode. In Passive Mode the optional Failsafe® Starter Kill will automatically activate 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned off. ■ Ignition switch-controlled door-locking on or off. With this feature on, the doors will lock 3 seconds after the ignition key is turned on, and unlock when the ignition key is turned off. ■ Passive Locking or Active Locking (doors lock only with the transmitter).
LED: A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system. Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions of your system. Valet® Switch: A small push button mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the optional Failsafe® Starter Kill when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet® Mode.
connected, the system can be programmed to lock the doors automatically 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned off. The system can also be programmed to lock the doors when the ignition is turned on and to unlock them when the ignition is turned off. Power Trunk Release: The system’s auxiliary output can be programmed to operate a factory power release for the vehicle's trunk or hatch. If the factory release is not power-activated, DEI®'s 522T trunk-release solenoid can often be added.
