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.
