The ‘key takeover’ procedure ensures that your engine does not shut down upon entering the vehicle, during the programmed remote start runtime. To prevent your vehicle from shutting down, complete the steps below within the programmed delay time (45 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes or 4 minutes):
For Standard Key Vehicles
1. Unlock and enter vehicle
2. Close doors
3. Insert key into ignition and turn ignition to ON position
4. Press foot brake
For Push-To-Start Vehicles
1. Unlock and enter vehicle with valid smartkey
2. Close doors
3. Press foot brake
NOTE: This feature may not be supported on some vehicles. If available, the programmed ‘key takeover’ delay time will be communicated to you by your iDatastart Authorized Dealer at the time of installation.
