If the Starter Kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter motor 

damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of habit, 

turn the ignition key to the 

 position. 

Starter Kill / Anti-grind feature 

With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the 

ignition key when the Starter Kill is armed. If your system was installed with the Starter Kill 

option, one will not be able to start your vehicle with the Key unless the system has been 

unlocked and disarmed first, or put into Valet Mode. 

If the Starter Kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter motor 

damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of habit, 

turn the ignition key to the 

 position. 

Active / Passive Arming of the Starter Kill 

The Starter Kill can be configured to either Passive mode (so as to arm automatically) or Active 

Mode (so as not to arm automatically). In Passive Mode, the system can be configured to arm 

automatically either after 1 minute or after 3 minutes. The Starter Kill is configured by default 

for a 1-minute Passive Arming Delay: the Starter Kill will automatically arm 1 minute after the 

ignition key is turned back to the 

 position – or until the last door is closed, depending on the 

configuration. 
If the Key Sense option is installed (see p. 8), the system will not arm while the ignition key 

remains in the ignition switch. If the Door Trigger option is installed, the system will not arm 

while a door remains open. 
See p. 6 for more detailed instructions on how to arm and disarm the Starter Kill. 

Idle Mode Option 

If configured at installation, this feature will allow the user to remove the ignition key from the 

ignition switch and leave the vehicle running without the key. (See Idle Mode on p. 3 for 

details.) 

Ignition-controlled Door Locks Option 

This is an added security feature. If your system was installed with the Ignition-controlled Door 

Locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the brake pedal is pressed after 

the ignition key has been turned to the 

 (

) position. When the ignition key is turned 

to the 

 position, the doors will automatically be unlocked. 

Smart Ignition Locks Option 

If the Ignition-controlled Door Locks option is configured at installation, the Smart Ignition Locks 

option may be configured as well, with the following effect: whenever the brake pedal is 

pressed while the ignition key is in the 

 (

) position, the system will automatically 

 any door that has been previously unlocked, opened and closed. 

Secure Lock Option 

Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the module must first disarm the factory security 

system. 

The Secure Lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory security 

systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed. 

To keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start, 

Secure Lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. 

Once the engine run cycle ends, Secure Lock will rearm your factory security system. 

Priority Door Access Option 

When programmed, this safety feature lets you selectively unlock either all doors 

simultaneously, or the driver’s door (leaving all other doors locked). See Priority Door Access
