Using the Remote Control Start Function
Your Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicle may be equipped with a Securilock Anti-Theft
system. If so, your PowerCode Remote Control Start system interfaces with the
Securilock system, fully maintaining the level of security provided by the Securilock
system. The PowerCode Securilock interface is sold separately.
QUICKSTART
Starting Your Vehicle:
The remote control start function is activated by pressing the
within 3 seconds on the PowerCode remote control transmitter. The system will check
the vehicle to ensure that it is safe to start, and if all safety parameters are correct,
the engine will start within 5 seconds (diesel engines vehicle take 30 seconds, to
allow the glowplugs sufficient time in all conditions to heat up) Press and hold the
button again to turn off the vehicle.
If your vehicle stalls or does not start...
If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the system will pause 5 seconds, then try 3
more times to start the vehicle (a total of four attempts). The system pauses 5
seconds between each start attempt. If the vehicle does not start after the fourth
attempt, the system will abort the start process.
Remote Start Safety Features:
For safety and security reasons, the system will shut down the engine during remote
start operation if any of the following occur:
• The brake pedal is pressed before the vehicle ignition key is turned on
• The engine reaches 3 times its normal idle speed
As a safety precaution, the vehicle will shut off if left unattended for 10 minutes
(runtime can optionally be set to 15 minutes if desired* ).
* "Press" refers to pushing a transmitter button for approximately one second.
