SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before using this product, carefully read the following safety precautions.
• Immediately report any malfunction to the dealer that performed installation.
• Under no circumstance can this product or its use be modified.
• Always turn off main switch when vehicle is parked in an enclosed, unventilated area or is in

• Always turn off main switch when not using your Remote Starter for extended periods of time.
• Keep remote controls away from children.
• Have your engine tuned regularly to ensure optimum performance of your Remote Starter.
• Make sure your windshield wipers are turned off before leaving vehicle.
• Regularly check safety features that stop engine (see “SAFETY CHECKS” on page 17.)
• Make sure you comply with all local regulations, which may prohibit leaving your engine
running when vehicle is unattended in a public place.
• Always advise service personnel that your vehicle is equipped with a Remote Starter equipped

• We strongly recommend that you have your system checked annually.
Contact the dealer in your area.
BEFORE USING YOUR REMOTE STARTER
Before leaving your vehicle, set the various controls in order to use your Remote Starter.

• Turn your windshield wipers to the “OFF” position.
• Make sure gearshift is in “P”.

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
works off three long-life lithium batteries.
It can control two vehicles separately. Up to four 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.
Each command being transmitted is confirmed by both an
audible and a visual signal (LED indicator).
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 LED flashes once, release the button
for a moment then press it again and hold it 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
Stop button, that will send a Panic command if hold more than 4 seconds.
The remote control supplied in the kit may differ from the one illustrated above.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Your remote works off three 3-volt lithium CR-2016 batteries or
equivalent.
We strongly recommend that you keep a replacement set in
your glove compartment.
To replace the batteries, remove screw on back of remote
case, remove old batteries and replace with new ones. Make
sure that batteries point the right way; 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 and/or siren 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 confirmations are optional (programmable) and require an
additional connection and equipment during installation.
Confirmations are explained in more detail under each command.
