Remote Engine Starting - Omega MAX-EDP Operation Manual

If desired, it is possible to have the "panic" button operate the 3rd channel
output or the two optional further channel outputs, instead of remote Panic-
see "Feature #21" on page 36.

Remote Engine Starting

The remote engine starting feature should not be used when
the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!
Your Omega MAX-EDP system offers the ultimate in comfort and
convenience- remote engine starting. This feature allows the vehicle's
interior to be warmed in the winter or cooled in the summer before you enter
the vehicle. Simply leave the climate controls set to the desired settings
when leaving the vehicle prior to using the remote starting feature.
The following pages explain the remote engine starting operations. If
the vehicle has a manual transmission, a special procedure is required
when exiting the vehicle to enable the ability to remote start. Otherwise, the
actual activation of remote start is the same for automatic or manual
transmission vehicles.
• When leaving the vehicle before remote starting, remember to set the
climate controls to the desired heating or air conditioning settings.
• If desired, the system's alarm function may be armed or disarmed as
needed during remote start operations (the system must be disarmed
before entering the vehicle).
How to Activate Remote Starting
Press and release together the transmitter's "arm/lock" and "disarm/
unlock" buttons.
The system's reaction: The system will respond first by rapidly flashing
the Status Light in green color, then by turning on the ignition and flashing
the parking lights once. Then the starter will engage until the engine runs;
10 seconds later the parking lights will illuminate steady during the period
that the engine is running from being remotely started. (having them flash
instead is an option- see the User Programmable Features section).
The engine will run for 10 minutes (the factory-set period). 5, 15 and 20
minute run times may be programmed, if desired, by referring to the
"Programming Features" section. Once the engine has been remotely
started, to remotely stop it on demand, before it times out, again press and
release together the transmitter's "arm/lock" and "disarm/unlock" buttons.
The system will stop the engine, and extinguish the parking lights.

This feature turns that operation on or off, and with options of having Last
Door Arming operate with or without also locking the doors when the system
does arm.
Feature #3 Automatic Rearming
Factory Default Setting Off
(press "arm/lock" button to program)
Options:
On without doors locking (press "disarm/unlock" button to program)
On with doors locking (press "OPTION" button to program)
"Automatic Rearming", described on page 12, prevents the system from
becoming accidentally disarmed by having it arm itself after being dis-
armed, if a door is not then opened or the ignition turned on. Options are
to have Automatic Rearming operate with or without also locking the doors
when the system does rearm.
Feature #4 Starter Interrupt Functions
Factory Default Setting Alarm Only
(press "arm/lock" button to program)
Options:
Off (press "disarm/unlock" button to program)
Automatic (press "OPTION" button to program)
Alarm & Anti-Grind (press red "panic" button to program)
This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit, in several ways. In its
default setting, "Alarm Only", the Starter Interrupt is operable whenever
the alarm is armed. The Starter Interrupt can also be used to prevent the
accidental grinding of the starter, by trying to start the vehicle when it is
already running by remote starting (as when the ignition key is turned to
"run" to drive the vehicle).
The "Automatic" option will cause the Starter Interrupt output to auto-
matically engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off", and
also 90 seconds after disarming the system. This automatic engagement
will occur even if the security system is in a disarmed state, but not if it is in
Valet Mode. Once the Starter Interrupt output is activated, the system must
be armed, then disarmed with the transmitter, or placed into the Valet Mode
by pressing and holding the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to disengage it.
There are no Status Light indications with this automatic form of Starter
Interrupt.
Programming this feature off completely eliminates the Starter Inter-
rupt output, while leaving all other system operations fully functional.
