ABSTRACT:
The remote starter includes a receiver for receiving wireless signals and a controller coupled to the receiver and the engine ignition. The controller activates the ignition in response to receipt of an engine start signal by the receiver and terminates the operation of the engine upon detection of a predetermined condition. The remote engine starter of the present invention may be used to start a vehicle engine and environmentally condition the vehicle interior without indefinitely operating the vehicle. Preferably, the controller terminates engine operation after a predetermined time. The predetermined time period is preferably selected by a user through a remote transmitter. In response to the time period selection, the controller generates a confirmation signal which indicates the selected time period. The preferred embodiment also includes a brake pedal sensor which generates a signal indicative of depression of the brake pedal and a hood open sensor for generating a signal indicative of an opening of the hood. In response to signal from these sensors, the controller terminates engine operation, if the engine is running, or does not start the engine if a start engine signal is received while either of these conditions is indicated.
