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.

We strongly recommend that you keep a replacement set in your
glove compartment.

equivalent.

To replace the batteries, remove screw on back of remote case,
remove old batteries and replace with new ones.

Make sure that batteries are properly oriented; see illustration
opposite.

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.
