To enable and use the remote start feature on your RS370 Excalibur system, you will need to follow a specific sequence using the keyless entry transmitter (remote). The remote start function allows you to start your vehicle from a distance, providing convenience, especially in extreme weather conditions, to warm up or cool down your vehicle before you enter it.
Steps to Enable and Use Remote Start on the RS370 Excalibur System:-
Ensure the System is Properly Installed:
- Before you can use the remote start function, ensure that the RS370 Excalibur system has been properly installed in your vehicle by a professional installer. The system must be correctly connected to your vehicle's ignition, starter, and other necessary components.
-
Check the Safety Conditions:
- The system will only activate the remote start if certain safety conditions are met. Make sure:
- The vehicle is in Park (for automatic transmissions) or in Neutral (for manual transmissions with a compatible safety switch).
- All doors are closed.
- The hood is fully closed.
- The brake pedal is not being pressed.
- The system is not in Valet Mode (Valet Mode typically disables remote start functions).
-
Activate Remote Start Using the Transmitter:
-
The remote start function is usually activated by pressing a specific button sequence on the RS370 Excalibur remote transmitter (key fob). Here’s how to do it:
-
Press and Hold the Remote Start Button:
- Look for the button on your remote with the remote start icon, which is usually a circular arrow or a circular arrow with a car symbol.
- Press and hold the remote start button for 2-3 seconds. This should trigger the remote start sequence.
-
-
Confirmation Signals:
- Upon successful activation of the remote start, your vehicle's parking lights will flash to indicate that the command has been received.
- The engine will start, and the parking lights will typically remain on while the engine is running remotely.
- Some systems may provide a chirp or another audible signal to confirm that the engine has started.
-
Remote Start Duration:
- The engine will run for a predetermined duration, typically 10 to 20 minutes (depending on your system settings), before automatically shutting off if the vehicle is not driven. You can usually customize this runtime through the system settings.
-
Entering the Vehicle After Remote Start:
- Unlock the Doors: Use the remote to unlock the vehicle’s doors.
- Insert the Key: For vehicles with a standard key, insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON position (do not turn to the start position, as the engine is already running).
- Depress the Brake Pedal: For most systems, pressing the brake pedal after turning the ignition to the ON position will complete the takeover process, allowing you to drive the vehicle.
- For Keyless Entry Vehicles: For vehicles with push-button start systems, enter the vehicle, press the brake pedal, and press the push start button as you normally would to engage the vehicle's full operational mode.
-
Disabling Remote Start:
- If you need to turn off the remote start before the runtime expires, press the remote start button on your transmitter again. This will shut off the engine.
- System in Valet Mode: If the remote start does not activate, ensure the system is not in Valet Mode, as this mode disables the remote start function. Valet Mode can usually be toggled on or off by pressing a specific button sequence on the remote or using the Valet/Override button inside the vehicle.
- Hood Open or Brake Pressed: The remote start system will not function if the hood is open or the brake pedal is pressed. Ensure all conditions are met.
- Transmitter Battery: If the remote start does not activate and the transmitter appears unresponsive, check and replace the transmitter battery if needed.
- Installation Issues: If you continue to have issues with remote start, there may be an installation or wiring issue. Consult a professional installer or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
To enable and use the remote start on your RS370 Excalibur system, follow the steps using your keyless entry transmitter, ensuring all safety conditions are met. If you encounter any issues, consult the user manual or contact a professional installer or the manufacturer for further guidance. Proper use of the remote start feature provides convenience and comfort, especially in extreme weather conditions.
