Engine Idle Protection System (Eips) - Autostart Signature Serie El Manual Del Propietario

Engine Idle Protection System (EIPS)

Vehicles equipped with a push button start or push-to-start
keyless ignition and start system work by using various antennas
throughout the vehicle to detect the presence of the vehicle's
electronic Smart Key. If the Smart Key has been removed from the
interior cabin of these vehicles while the engine is running, the
engine will still continue to run indefinitely unless action is taken
by the user to shut the ignition system off, becoming a potential
hazard if the vehicle has been left unattended in a garage or
other confined space.
The Engine Idle Protection System (EIPS) available on this product
has been designed as a convenience feature that can detect
the presence of the vehicle's Smart Key within the cabin using
the vehicle's OEM antennas and communications network. If the
key has been removed from the vehicle, EIPS will engage and
monitor the vehicle for a pre-defined amount of time configured
at the time of installation (i.e. 1 to 5 minutes). Once engaged,
if the EIPS timer expires and the key has still not been detected
inside the vehicle, the EIPS feature will assume the vehicle has
been unintentionally left idling and will shut the engine off.
EIPS (Engine Idle Protection System) will:
• Notify the user about the idling engine by sounding the
horn with a series of short beeps.
• Shut down the engine after a pre-defined period of time
(i.e. 1 to 5 minutes).
• If the engine fails to shut down due to some malfunction,
EIPS will go into alarm mode and will notify the user by all
means possible (e.g. horn or siren).
