Page 7: Start Commands
START COMMANDS STARTING THE ENGINE To start the engine, press button (horn: 0, lights: 1). The system automatically adjusts ignition duration for your type of vehicle; parking lights flash once (duration: four seconds) then stay on all the time engine is running. If more than one command is emitted, each successive start command resets runtime to the beginning, parking lights flash once to confirm command has been received and horn sounds once to let you know engine is already running. - Page 8 CONTINUOUS MODE The Continuous Mode function lets you remove the key from ignition while leaving the engine running. This convenient feature allows you to leave vehicle for short periods of time while climate controls remain on. To access Continuous Mode, send Start command while engine is idling. See “STARTING THE ENGINE“ on page 5.
