THE REMOTE CONTROL
Your remote control has been designed to fit the natural contours of your hands so that it is easier to use.
It is powered by long-life lithium batteries.
It can control two vehicles separately.
Up to three additional remote controls can be assigned to your vehicle.
See your dealer for replacement batteries or additional remote controls.
NOTE: The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal
structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.
USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
Your remote control can transmit on two different
channels, allowing control of two separate vehicles.
Only the “Panic” command is transmitted on both
channels simultaneously.
CHANNEL 1
:
To transmit a command
on channel 1, press desired
button for two seconds.
CHANNEL 2
:
To transmit a command on channel 2, press desired button, then as
soon as a tone is heard or that the LED flashes once, release the button
for a moment then press it again and hold down for two seconds.
A command will not be executed if you do not press button long enough.
Only one command will be transmitted even if a button is pressed for more than two seconds except for the
“Panic” button, which repeats its command for as long as the button is held down.
CONFIRMATION
Each command being
transmitted is confirmed
by both an audible
and a visual signal (LED
indicator), indicating the
successive steps in
the transmission of the
command.
The successive steps
in the transmission
and confirmation of a
command are described in
the opposite table.

CONFIRMATION
In all cases, your Remote Starter will confirm that command has been received properly.
This will be done by either sounding horn or flashing parking lights.
In this manual, confirmation signals are written in an abbreviated form; for example:
(horn: 1, lights: 2) Means that horn will sound once and parking lights will flash twice.
Parking light confirmations are mandatory.
Horn and siren confirmations are optional (programmable) and require an extra connection and additional
equipment during installation.
Confirmations are explained in more detail under each command.

START COMMANDS
STARTING THE ENGINE
To start the engine, press button (horn: 0, lights: 1).
The system automatically adjusts ignition duration for your type of vehicle; parking lights flash once (duration: four
seconds) then stay on all the time engine is running.
If more than one command is emitted, each successive start command resets runtime to the beginning, parking
lights flash once to confirm command has been received and horn sounds once to let you know engine is already
running.
Repeating this command will produce an audible confirmation that engine has started, which can be useful if
vehicle is not in sight.
I
F ENGINE FAILS TO START
If your system cannot start your engine at first attempt, it will wait for a few seconds and then try again (it could try
again twice depending on reason for failure to start).
After three attempts, it will shut down automatically and wait for new command (see “Start fail Codes“ on page 18).
U
PON ENTERING YOUR VEHICLE
...
Do not apply brakes; this will stop engine immediately.
Insert ignition key and turn it to “ON” position.
DO NOT TURN IGNITION KEY TO
“START”
POSITION.
Within 20 seconds, execute Antitheft disarm sequence (if applicable).
See “Antitheft” on page 15.
Drive as usual.
E
NGINE RUNTIME
Your engine will stop automatically after a preset time.
Parking lights will stay on as long as engine is running.
Engine runtime is programmable.
W
HAT STOPS THE ENGINE
For your safety, engine will not start or will stop if:
Remote control sends a stop message.
Hood is open.
Brakes are applied.
Gearshift is not in “P” or “N”.
Engine is over-revving.
Main switch is OFF.
Page 9
<>34;"%

T
RIGGER INPUT
Your remote starter is equipped with a negative trigger (pulse)
input.
This input (enabled during installation) can be connected to
another remote control device or to a timer output.
If this input is connected, consult this device's manual or ask your
technician which command controls the start/stop function.
The start/stop commands received on this input are ignored while
the engine is running on a remote start.
All Start/Stop functions controlled by this input behave in the same
way as functions controlled by remote.
CONTINUOUS MODE
The “Continuous Mode“ function allows to remove the key from the ignition while leaving the engine running.
This convenient feature allows you to leave the vehicle for short periods of time while the climate controls remain
on.
To access the “Continuous Mode“, carry out the “Start“ command while the engine is idling.
See “STARTING THE ENGINE“ on page 6.
Parking lights, engine and preset accessories will remain on for the duration of the programmed runtime
(see “ Setting the runtime ” on page 8).
Remove key, exit vehicle and lock doors. All safety devices will remain active.
I
F YOU RETURN TO YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE RUNTIME HAS ELAPSED, JUST TURN THE KEY TO THE
“ON”
POSITION AND DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL
.
M
AIN SWITCH
Main switch is usually mounted under dashboard.
It is an ON/OFF toggle switch that is used to cancel start functions.
It does not disable other commands which remain active.
STOP
When engine is kept running by Remote Starter, you can stop it with this command (lights: 1, siren: 0).
This command is also used to cancel “Panic” mode and alarm condition.
Page 10
<>34;"%
8
LOW TEMPERATURE MODE
In Low Temperature (previously called Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine automatically when temperature
falls below a preset level.
Engine will run for programmed runtime, after which system will wait 2½ hours and then start engine again if
temperature is still below preset level.
To activate/deactivate Low Temperature mode, press
and buttons simultaneously.
When mode is activated:
Parking lights will flash 4 times, then, if temperature is below preset level, engine will start.
If temperature is above preset level, system waits until it goes below preset level before starting.
If system cannot execute command (for example, hood is open), confirmation will be different (lights: 3)(see “Start
Fail Codes“ on page 18).
When mode is deactivated:
Parking lights will flash twice to confirm that mode is deactivated. Applying brakes also deactivates Low
Temperature mode.
S
TART TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
To change preset temperature at which you want your Remote Starter to start engine, press and
buttons simultaneously (lights: 1 - 4).
Parking lights will flash from 1 to 4 times to indicate selected start
temperature (see table opposite).
If you send command when ignition has been turned on (by Remote
Starter or key), preset start temperature does not change.
However, confirmation is still sent to indicate last selection.
S
ETTING THE RUNTIME
Press buttons and simultaneously (parking lights: 1 - 4).
Parking lights flash one to four times to indicate selected runtime (see
table opposite).
If you send this command while the ignition circuits are activated (by
remote or key), runtime does not change but confirmation is sent to
indicate last selection.
If Low Temperature mode is already activated when this command is
sent, the command sets or indicates Low Temperature mode runtime.
Note: Runtime is doubled for a diesel engine.
1
A runtime of 2 minutes (4 min. for a diesel engine ) is not recommended for most vehicles unless you intend to
drive off immediately after the remote start. This selection is not available in Low Temperature mode.

SECURITY SYSTEM
SECURITY ZONES
Your security system can use up to six different monitoring devices at the same time to protect your vehicle.
These devices are connected to the control module on different inputs called security zones.
One of these zones can give an audible warning (siren "ON" for 2 seconds) while the other five generate an alarm
condition if the system is armed.
SECURITY ZONES FUNCTIONS
Warning (pre-shock)
Siren "ON" for 2 seconds
Doors
Hood
Additional sensors
Shock sensor
Ignition (ignition key)
Siren "ON" for a period of 30 seconds to 4
minutes depending on the initial programming
and whether the zone in violation is corrected or
not.
DETERRENTS
ACTIVE
When one of the monitoring devices detects a violation, the system reacts by energizing the following deterrent
devices, depending on which is connected.
The system energize up to four deterrent devices at the same time - siren, parking lights, dome light and/or
horn.
PREVENTIVE
The indicator light indicates the different alarm system conditions (see “Zone codes”).
When it is mounted in a place where it is visible from outside the vehicle, it may also act as a deterrent.
The buzzer (optional) consists of a small piezo-electric element that beeps when the system is armed; this beep
can be heard up to about two meters (six feet) from the vehicle.
It warns possible intruders that your vehicle is equipped with an armed alarm system.
ALARM MODES
WARNING
The warning signal consists in a siren that chirps briefly (two seconds).
When a dual stage shock sensor (optional) is connected to the system, a light shock will activate the warning
signal when the alarm is armed.
PRE-ALARM
If you set off the alarm by mistake and do not want to alarm (or disturb...) the whole neighborhood, the “pre-alarm
mode” cuts in three seconds before the actual alarm to give you time to disarm the system.
In this mode, the parking lights, siren and dome light are activated intermittently for three seconds.
ALARM CONDITION
When the system is in an alarm condition, it energizes its deterrent devices, depending on which is connected to
the module.
The alarm condition remains active for a period of thirty seconds or one minute depending on the initial
programming, after which the system pauses for five seconds.
During this pause, it checks the security zones again and reinitiates the alarm cycle if a zone is still in violation.
This cycle can be repeated up to four times.
If the situation which caused the violation is corrected in the middle of a cycle, the alarm shuts off at the end of the
current cycle.
Page 12
<>34;"%

OPERATION
Your vehicle safety system can function in three different modes, namely manual, semi-automatic and
automatic depending on the initial programming.
Consult the section corresponding to the mode in which your system was configured during installation.
MANUAL
In manual mode, the security system must be armed and disarmed with the remote control.
Consult the table of command on page 5.
The system is armed as soon as the command is received.
If a zone is in violation when the command is received, the alarm will still arm.
However, the zone in violation cannot trigger the alarm since it was not previously in a normal condition.
Manual mode is always available even if your system was configured differently when it was installed.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC
In semi-automatic mode, the security system must be armed and disarmed with the remote control.
Consult the table of command on page 5.
In this mode the system automatically rearms 25 seconds after you have disarmed it if there is no security zone in
violation.
The following table shows how each zone affects the rearming cycle.
Security zone Effect on the rearming cycle
Hood
Additional sensors
Shock sensor
These three zones delay the onset of the rearming cycle for as long as they
remain in violation.
Ignition
Doors
These two zones cancel the rearming cycle completely.
Warning No effect
Applying the brake pedal or enabling the “Temporary valet” mode cancel the rearming cycle.
AUTOMATIC
In automatic mode, opening a door initiates the rearming cycle.
The alarm system will be armed thirty seconds after checking that all the security zones are in a normal condition.
This thirty-second period is called the “rearming delay”.
If a zone violation occurs during the rearming delay, the timer will stop counting and start again at thirty seconds
when all the zones have returned to a normal condition.
During the rearming delay, the indicator light flashes rapidly.
After five seconds, the system issues an audible confirmation (1 chirp of the siren) indicating that the system will
arm after 25 seconds.
At the end of this delay, the alarm is armed and issues a second confirmation (1 chirp of the siren and 1 flash of
the parking lights) to indicate that the system is armed correctly.
If you wish to remain inside your vehicle without driving off, you can cancel the rearming cycle by turning the key to
the ignition position (IGN) then back to “OFF” or by depressing the brake pedal.
When you exit the vehicle, the cycle starts again and the system arms automatically.
See also “Temporary valet” mode.
If you disarm the system (to enter the vehicle, for example) and do not open the door within thirty seconds, the
system automatically rearms.
Page 13
<>34;"%
11
The following table shows how each zone affects the rearming cycle.
Security zone Effect on the rearming cycle
Hood
Doors
Additional sensor
Shock sensors
These four zones delay the onset of the rearming cycle for as long as they
remain in a violation status.
Ignition
Turned ON by the ignition switch: Cancels the rearming cycle
Turned ON by the remote starter module: No effect
Warning No effect
Applying the brake pedal or turning the ignition key to the “ON” position cancels the rearming cycle (until a door is
opened, which causes the rearming delay to start over from the beginning of the cycle).
See also “Temporary valet” and “Dome light delay”.
Disarming can only be done using the remote control by pressing the
button (see the table of command on
page 5.
The system is immediately disarmed and starts again at the beginning of the rearming delay.
CANCELING ALARM CONDITION
You can cancel the alarm condition by pressing the button, which also disarms the system, or by pressing
the
or the button, which cancels the alarm condition without disarming the system.
CONFIRMATION
When you arm or disarm the system, a confirmation is issued by the siren (if it is programmed during installation)
and the parking lights.
When the alarm is armed manually, one confirmation (chirp of the siren and/or flash of the parking lights) means
that all the security zones are in their normal condition and the system is ready.
Three chirps or flashes indicate that one or more zones are in violation (example, a door is open).
When the zone is corrected (example, the door is closed), the system issues another confirmation (one chirp or
flash if all the zones are in their normal condition, three if another zone is in violation).
If a zone is in violation when the system is armed manually and the situation causing the violation is not corrected,
the alarm still arms, but this zone cannot generate an alarm condition.
See also “Dome light delay”.
When you disarm the alarm, two chirps or flashes indicate that no one has tried to break into your vehicle or
otherwise violate the system; four chirps or flashes indicate that an alarm condition occurred during your absence.
The following table summarizes this section.
CONFIRMATION MEANING
1 blink System armed with zone in violation.
2 blinks System disarmed, no violation detected.
3 blinks System armed with zone in violation. Check the indicator light to know which zone.
4 blinks
System disarmed with violation detected.
Check the indicator light to know what caused the alarm condition.
Page 14
<>34;"%
12
INDICATOR LIGHT
The indicator light indicates the different alarm system conditions.
When it is mounted in a place where it is visible from outside the vehicle, it may also act as a deterrent.
UPON ARMING - The indicator light displays the codes for the zones in violation (example, a door is open).
Only one code is displayed at a time.
If more than one zone is in violation during arming, the code changes when the zone displayed is corrected
(example, the door is closed).
UPON DISARMING - The indicator light displays the code for the last zone that generated an alarm condition.
The code is displayed when pressing the
button and a door is open. The code is repeated until the brake
pedal is applied.
The following table shows what the zone codes mean (number of flashes).
ZONE CODES
Flash Zone indication
1 The system is armed.
2 A door is/was open.
3 The hood is/was open.
4 An alarm condition is/was detected on the shock sensor input.
5 The ignition key is/was in the ignition position (IGN).
6
An alarm condition is/was detected on the additional sensors input (broken window,
movement, etc.).
Two other conditions may be shown by the indicator light:
LOW CONSTANT Indicates that the alarm is disarmed permanently.
See “Valet mode”.
RAPID FLASHING See “Operation (automatic)”.
SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
ANTI-LOCK
When it is connected to the ignition key cylinder, this function prevents the system from locking the doors during
automatic arming when the key is in the ignition.
It can also be connected to a switch for selecting whether the automatic lock is ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
TEMPORARY VALET MODE
This mode allows you to cancel automatic arming for an indefinite period of time.
You will find it useful when filling up or when working on or around your vehicle.
To enable the Temporary valet mode, press the
button during the 30-second rearming delay (indicator light
flashing rapidly).
When the light stops flashing, it confirms that the Temporary valet mode is enabled.
To cancel this mode, simply turn the ignition key to the “ON ” position.
Opening a door reactivates automatic arming.
You can also arm the system with the remote control, which cancels the Temporary valet mode.
Page 15
<>34;"%
13
VALET SWITCH
The Valet switch is used to activate the Valet mode or cancel an alarm condition when your Remote control is not
available (lost, weak batteries, etc).
This switch must be located in a hidden location known only to regular users of the vehicle. Ask your installer to
show you where it is located.
VALET MODE
This mode is used to disarm the alarm permanently when your vehicle is in for servicing, for example.
The following sequence will inactivate the alarm system permanently.
Place the key in the ignition and turn it to the IGNITION position (IGN).
Place the VALET switch in the “ON” position.
Remove the ignition key.
To put the alarm back into active mode, repeat the same procedure with the exception of the position of the
VALET switch (this must be put back to the “OFF” position).
When the Valet mode is enabled, the indicator light stays on at half intensity.
REMOTE CONTROL NOT AVAILABLE
This sequence is used to deactivate the alarm when your remote control is out of order.
Enter the vehicle (the alarm will sound).
Place the key in the ignition and turn it to the IGNITION position (IGN).
Place the VALET switch in the “ON” position and then back to the “OFF” position.
Remove the ignition key.
Note: If the system is programmed in automatic mode, it will rearm and you will have to repeat this sequence every
time you use your vehicle.
If you want to avoid this situation, leave the Valet switch in the “ON” position, which will have the effect of enabling
the Valet mode at the same time.
GLOSSARY
S
IREN
The siren emits six different sounds, i.e. it chirps repeatedly and alternates between six different sound
sequences.
It is activated intermittently (short repeated chirps) during a pre-alarm and continuously during a warning or alarm
condition.
It can give a confirmation of the ARMING and DISARMING commands with short chirps; see the table in the
CONFIRMATION section.
This function is programmable as ACTIVE or INACTIVE during installation.
H
ORN
The horn is activated intermittently (short repeated blasts) when there is a warning or alarm condition.
This function is optional and may require additional equipment to be installed.
Consult your installer for more information.
Page 16
<>34;"%
14
P
ARKING LIGHTS
The parking lights flash intermittently (repeated flashes) when there is a warning, pre-alarm or alarm condition.
The parking lights also confirm that commands have been received.
See the table in the CONFIRMATION section.
I
N VIOLATION
“In violation” means the condition required for a security zone to generate an alarm condition; for example, a door
is open, etc.
D
OME LIGHT DELAY
The remote starter can turn on the dome light for 35 seconds when you send an Unlock command (not available in
semi-automatic mode).
In automatic mode, the system ignores the “doors” zone during the dome light delay, which has the effect of
extending the rearming time by 35 seconds.
On certain vehicles, the dome light may remain on after the last door has been closed.
If this option applies to your vehicle, the rearming time is extended by the length of time the dome light is kept on
by the vehicle.
LOCK/UNLOCK COMMANDS
If your vehicle is equipped with electric door locks, several functions can be operated by remote control when
arming or disarming the alarm.
These features are optional and may require purchasing additional equipment.
Consult your dealer for advice.
Following systems can be controlled:
Door locks
Trunk or hatchback release
Interior lights
LOCK
Press button (lights: 1, siren: 1).
Doors are locked and parking lights flash once to confirm command has been received.
UNLOCK
Press button (lights: 2, siren: 2). Doors are unlocked and parking lights flash twice to confirm command has
been received.
The “Unlock“ function can be programmed in such a way that the first unlock command only unlocks the driver's
door, while a following unlock command unlocks the other door(s).
Dome light will turn on for 35 seconds every time “Unlock” command is sent.
This 35-second period is cancelled when “Lock” command is sent, brakes are applied or key is inserted in ignition
and turned to “ON” position.
This function is optional and requires an additional connection and equipment during installation.
Page 17
<>34;"%
15
TRUNK RELEASE
Press button (lights: 3). Trunk is released and parking lights flash three times to confirm command has been

SAFETY CHECKS
In order to maintain a high safety standard, proceed with following routine checks every month.
HOOD SWITCH
Start your vehicle with Remote Starter.
Open hood.
Engine should stop as soon as hood is opened.
If engine does not stop immediately, turn main switch to “OFF” position and leave it off until situation has been
corrected. Contact your local service center.
DETECTING “P” AND “N” GEARSHIFT POSITIONS
Your starter is designed to check gearshift position at all times.
If key must be in ignition for gearshift to be moved out of “P”, your vehicle is safe as long as keys are kept away
from children.
If, however, gearshift can be put in gear without key being in ignition, proceed with this simple check.
Put gearshift in gear.
Be ready to apply brakes.
Start your vehicle with Remote Starter.
Repeat these steps with gearshift in “Drive” and “Reverse”.
If starter reacts within 90 seconds (which would be abnormal), turn main switch to “OFF” position and leave it off
until situation has been corrected. Contact your local service center.
REPLACING OR BOOSTING VEHICLE BATTERY
If you have to replace or boost your battery for any reason, first turn main switch to “OFF” position and leave it
“OFF” until battery is replaced or fully charged.
Reversing polarity during this operation could
permanently damage your Remote Starter.
