With the onset of cold weather, many car ownersfaced with the problem of warming up the engine of the vehicle. How nice to finish your morning coffee, go down, get in your car and leave at once. But - looking reality in the eye - we go to the frost, sit in a cold car, start the engine and wait until it warms up so that there is an opportunity to go.
Time does not stand still, so all car owners have the opportunity to install an alarm on their vehicle with the engine auto-start system.
Description
Сигнализация с автозапуском - это система, which gives not only protection, but also warming up the engine. The latter is activated through the autorun of the car with a keychain. The price varies between 3000-70000 rubles, depending on the availability of various additional settings.
The main components of the system from all manufacturerssimilar, but undoubtedly there are differences. Therefore, the choice of alarm should be approached carefully, weigh all the pros and cons. For example, the Starline car alarm package includes:
- Remote control keychains in the amount of two pieces.
- Central unit.
- Paging decoder.
- Shock sensor.
- Led indicator.
- Service button.
- Remotely controlled relay that blocks the engine.
Installation
Each car alarm is set toaccording to its instructions. In this case, of course, it is better to trust the professionals. After all, how it will be installed depends not only on warming up your car, but also on whether it will be stolen.
In the case of self-installation of car alarms, the algorithm of actions will be basically the same for all system manufacturers. Therefore, we consider how the autorun of the machine is installed with the Starline keychain.
The central unit of the system is located in the cabin.vehicle. The most convenient way is to place it under the dashboard. There it will not get moisture, and the length of the connecting wires will be minimized. The unit is fixed with self-tapping screws. This is necessary so that it does not move with vibration. Paging decoder is placed near the block.
Сирена находит своё местоположение под капотом vehicle. Her mouthpiece must be lowered down - so you will avoid collecting water in it. The siren should be away from sources of moisture and heat. Be sure to check the inaccessibility of the wires outside the hood.
The shock sensor is placed in the cabin of the vehicle.facilities. LED indicator on the panel. It must be in a prominent place. The service button, as well as the central unit, must be hidden from prying eyes. But unlike the latter, the button is located in the zone of reach.
After installing the pushbutton switches in the trunk and under the hood of the car, be sure to check them.
All wires try to lay away from electrical noise, moving structures and other elements of the car, which can later interfere with the normal operation of car alarms.
The main assistant when installing a system such asautorun for cars, - autos. Schemes for cars are in the instructions to the system. It is for them to connect all the components of car alarms.
Functions
The main functions of the installed alarm with auto start include:
- Car security.Every part of the vehicle is protected. Engine - from start. Wheels, windows and body react to shocks and pushes. Ignition - from inclusion. Doors, trunk and hood are protected from opening.
- Vehicle protection. Car alarm gives a visual or audible signal when attempting to rob, steal, and so on.
- Alarm protection. The car alarm itself is guarded against the selection of codes for hacking.
- Self Diagnosis Car alarm automatically diagnoses security sensors, reports the status.
- Service functions (at the request of the car owner, various operations are configured - vehicle search, locking the door locks after a certain time, and so on).
Engine start options
Раньше охранная система обладала лишь функцией remote start car engine. To date, it has become possible to customize and combine among themselves the various possibilities of car alarms, which delivers maximum comfort in the life of the vehicle owner.
Depending on the purpose of launching the car is divided into types:
- Remote. This type of start is used to warm up the engine in advance before driving.
- Automatic startup view is short term.turning on the car engine when it reaches a certain temperature in the environment or after a period of time. The parameters at which the autorun will work are specified in the settings in advance.
Remote start
Main alarm function with auto start -by pressing the button on the "Start the engine" key. With the development of the Internet and mobile communications, it became possible to manage the settings and the car itself via GPS-GSM. Now the car owner can send a message from a mobile phone, computer, tablet, and the engine will start remotely. This function is especially convenient in the conditions of a city where buildings and other structures can impede the action of a keychain.
Auto start
This autorun machine with keychain isA great addition to the remote. However, many underestimate him. And in vain, because under certain circumstances he is very helpful. Automatic start has many settings, whether conditions, time, period of inclusion and so on. All parameters of the automatic engine start are lined up depending on the climatic conditions of the region, season and so on. With more or less stable weather conditions, only the warm-up time and frequency are adjusted. In the winter period, the engine running time increases, in the fall and spring, respectively, decreases.
That is, the frequency and warm-up time vary independing on the temperature behind the car. Starting the engine can be set to an alarm clock, so your vehicle will be ready for a trip by a certain time. In regions with changeable weather and irregular degrees on a mercury column, car owners are actively using warming up by temperature. The function is as follows: a sensor is connected to the car alarm, which, when the temperature drops below the specified value, sends a signal and the engine starts.
Manual for manual transmission
There are several consecutive steps whenwhich autorun will work correctly without unexpected circumstances. How to start the car with autorun keychain? There is no general algorithm for cars with automatic and manual transmission.
Algorithm for mechanical:
- Lever boxes translate into neutral.
- Car put on the handbrake.
- Leave the vehicle, close the doors.
- Activate the alarm, enable the engine auto start.
Nuance to get used tocar enthusiasts after installing autorun, is the habit of putting the vehicle in neutral. If you leave the car in gear, and then try to use the startup, it simply will not work.
Operating Instructions for automatic transmission
The sequence of actions, after which the car starts with the start of the keychain, on the automatic transmission is partially similar to manual transmission.
Algorithm for automatic:
- Move the automatic transmission lever to the Parking mode.
- Leave the vehicle, close the doors.
- Activate the alarm, enable autorun.
The algorithm must be executed strictly in the given sequence. If you skip any of the steps, the autostart of the engine to the machines will not work.
pros
Undoubtedly, the autorun machine with a keychain, like any automated process, is endowed with positive and negative properties.
Pros:
- In winter, a warm cabin and a warm engine. In the summer - chilled interior.
- Minimum time costs.
Minuses
These drawbacks are more likely to cars with manual transmission.
Minuses:
- Fuel consumption increases.
- In winter, icing of the exhaust pipe (this is due to water condensation, which is formed in the exhaust system).
- In winter, the freezing of parking brake cables or brake pads (when the car is parked on neutral).
- If the car is parked on a slope, the parking brake mechanism is weakened - there is a risk of spontaneous movement of the vehicle.
- At the time of starting the startup, there is a threat of vehicle theft, as the security system is turned off at this time.
The car owner, only intelligently weighing all the pros and cons of autorun, will be able to decide whether to install the system on his vehicle.
Myths
Autostart cars with keychain has like fans,so and opponents. The controversy is burning on this system. Very many car owners refuse this car alarm, having heard many rumors and myths that have no evidence.
Myths about autorun:
- Independent vehicle movement.The most common myth about autorun. And it is not unreasonable. The car rollback occurs if the driver after stopping leaves the car in gear. With the installation of this car alarm habits will have to change. Now, after stopping the lever, shift to neutral and place the vehicle on the handbrake.
- Freezing brake pads.This myth becomes a reality only for those car owners who do not dry their brakes after driving in wet weather. Make it easier than it seems. Enough to perform several intensive braking. And if, after all, this problem has touched you, then a two-liter bottle of hot water will come to the rescue. Pour the liquid on the rear brakes, and you can move on.
- Hijacking Undoubtedly, a car with a running engine is a tasty morsel for a thief. Therefore, you should not use the startup in deserted places and at a considerable distance from the vehicle.
- Steering lock happens through inattentionperson This happens as follows: the car owner gets into the vehicle with the engine already running and forgets to insert the ignition key. This, in turn, leads to a lock on the steering wheel. The solution to this problem is to forcibly silence the engine before driving.
Any problem with the startup with the key fob alarm is solved. Therefore, the main obstacle to the installation of car alarms is the unwillingness of the vehicle owner.
