Using Your Remote Starter

Starting Your Vehicle: The remote start function is activated by BOTH buttons on the remote control. The system will check the vehicle to ensure that it is safe to start, and if all safety parameters are correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds (diesel engines will take longer.) Press and hold BOTH buttons again to turn off the vehicle.

If your vehicle stalls or does not start...If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the F40 will pause 5 seconds, then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of four attempts). The system pauses 5 seconds between each start attempt. If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the F40 will abort the start process. Your vehicle can be started by remote control whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

Remote Start Safety Features: For safety and security reasons, the F40 will shut off the vehicle during remote start if any of the following occur:

• The vehicle hood is opened
• The brake is pressed before the vehicle ignition is turned on with the key
• The engine reaches 3 times its normal idle*
