Remote engine start, as the name suggests is to remotely start the engine by remote control key. The principle is the most simple: a vehicle to start the engine by remote control key sent signals. The entire process of eliminating the inconvenience of people into the car operation, when the engine is running central locking is still in the locked state, effectively providing security. Normally after remote start the vehicle’s engine will work continuously for ten minutes, if no other instruction is received after will automatically turn off. In this way can also achieve the effect of lifting the cabin temperature. This feature is very common in foreign countries, in cold regions is also high usage, but most parts of the country is not in the frigid zone, in order to save the cost of this feature has not been widely adopted. .
Remote engine starting characteristics
1 High Reliability: the engine and the manual remote start ignition in the car structure there is no difference, the same is to start the engine by the electric motor, so that heater mechanical wear is not a problem, and thus greatly reduce the chance of failure.
easy to use 2: While the engine can not be started as a remote start timing of the parking as heating, but also very convenient way remote start. Remote control range is usually not less than 50 meters from the parking lot if the vehicle is placed on the ground at home or remote control units can be directly used to start the engine in advance. .
Clock 3: usually automatically shut down the engine by remote starting of the engine if no operation is performed after a period of time, forget to turn off to avoid wasting fuel may bring. .
4 whole car heating: This function and auxiliary heating is to let the coolant tank to heat up, so whether or engine compartment or windows can be effectively heated.
remote engine start scope
remote engine start function there will be some restrictions on the vehicle itself, the most important point is that only automatic transmission cars before installation. The reason is equipped with automatic transmission control unit TCU will, the information providing apparatus will gear in an engine control unit ECU, trip computer only when the gear positioned confirmed parking position P will start the engine, is done to prevent vehicle accidents start, post the installation does not have this protection.
is to be noted in the use of preheated up to more than ten minutes manufacturer defined, the number is not more than twice. Since the engine idling place much more slowly than the normal rate of temperature increase operation speed, three-way catalyst has been slow more than 350 degrees of the operating temperatureThis time due to the combustion engine exhaust gases will give three yuan is not sufficient to generate a great deal of burden, long past will damage the catalytic converters. If you use the correct set of vendors within the program without problems.
Since the remote boot involved immobilizer lock, post installation more difficult, there will still be some risk even by changing the security circuit is mounted thereon. This is the need of attention.
