Just bought a car with VIZION VZ1WAM-R car starter. Does anyone know what "turbo mode" is and how it works and "passive locking" what it does. THANK YOU

Turbo Timer run will run the vehicle a few minutes after you have left it (to cool down a turbo). Passive locking will lock the doors automatically when you turn the key on.

And with "some" vehicles...is not a good idea. you could lock your keys in the car.....with it running.  Seen it!

I myself would try and get into a programming menu and change that feature to active.

I have NEVER had a customer want me to turn on passive locking.

Either have I. Turbo mode on the remote unless you have a turbo car or truck. If not i would worry about it. Passive again you don't want on. If your doors are locking without you pressing anything i suggest you turn it off. Look at the back of the remote it will tell you to press buttons unlock and trunk together for HALF a second. Your parking lights will flash ONCE for ON and TWICE for OFF. Word"dont ground out!"

How about the "timer start mode"? I'm looking for that option to start my car like every 2-3 hours for 10 mins in -30 weather. Love this site very helpful... thanks

In my opinion Timed start is only good for those -40 nights and you do not have a block heater or do not have access to a power outlet. I have one guy who works overnight 12hr shifts at the airport - he uses it on very, very cold nights. Not many others do. Oh - and make sure you have enough gas to last until you get back to the car.
