Many options have already been proposed by happy X-RAY owners to control engine temperature while driving. All of these options require the installation of an OBDII adapter and a trip computer (or its simplest analogue in the form of a display with error reset functions).

What if you use the Starline A93 alarm capabilities?! The instructions read:

Yes, using this method, checking the engine temperature while driving is not only inconvenient, but also unsafe. Surely most of us have an alarm key fob attached either in a bunch with the car key or on our belt. But while standing in a traffic jam or pulling over to the side of the road on a hot day, you can see if everything is in order with this important parameter for all of us, like engine temperature, using the alarm remote control.

The main function of the alarm temperature sensor is to perform autostart based on engine temperature. Mainly due to negative engine temperature.

When you press the 3rd button, the mains voltage and interior temperature are displayed

and when briefly pressed twice, the engine temperature is displayed

I recommend contacting a service center to diagnose the central unit.

We diagnosed the bolt and it turned out that the fault was in the bolt itself. Sent under warranty for repair.

It must be remembered that a car is a vehicle of increased danger. Section 12.8. The traffic rules state: “The driver may leave his seat or leave the vehicle if he has taken the necessary measures to prevent the vehicle from moving spontaneously or being used in the absence of the driver.”

Before using the StarLine A92 car alarm, carefully read the safety precautions for using the remote or automatic engine start function outlined below.

1. Always park your vehicle in an open, well-ventilated area.
2. Always set the vehicle's parking brake, which must be in good condition and prevent the vehicle from moving.
3. When leaving the vehicle, be sure to place the automatic transmission control lever in the “PARK” position and the manual transmission shift lever in the neutral position.
4. If your car uses a manual transmission, then before turning on the remote or automatic engine start function, be sure to follow the “soft neutral” procedure for preparing to start the engine.
5. Never start the car engine without the driver present or if anyone is in front of or behind the car.
6. Never give car alarm control key fobs to children or other persons without first reading these instructions.
