Introduction

This module is a state-of-the-art remote car starter system. With many advanced functions, this product will satisfy any one of the user’s expectations from high-end commodity systems, without neglecting the standard features commonly offered by entry-level starters.

Basic Remote Operation

Your remote car starter can operate two independent vehicles equipped with an identical remote car starter (see multi-car operation on page 8).

The functions of the transmitter are as follows:

Pressing the

LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously will activate the AUX 2 output.

For certain vehicles:

• Pressing and holding the LOCK button for more than 3 seconds will lock all doors and will

send a constant pulse as long as the

LOCK button is held down (maximum of 15 seconds).

This constant pulse can be configured to activate certain functionalities such as rolling up the windows – Please refer to your installer to see if your vehicle is compatible with this option.

• Pressing and holding the UNLOCK button for more than 3 seconds will unlock all doors and

will send a constant pulse as long as the UNLOCK button is held down (maximum of 15 seconds). This constant pulse can be configured to activate certain functionalities such as rolling down the windows – Please refer to your installer to see if your vehicle is

compatible with this option.

Vehicle Presets

If installed, the Starter Kill can be programmed to arm in Active Mode (will not arm automatically) or in Passive Mode (will arm automatically).

• To disarm the Starter Kill in Active or Passive Mode, press the UNLOCK button on the trans- mitter. The parking lights will flash twice. (If Remote Door Locks were installed, this will also unlock the doors.) In Passive Mode, the system will automatically rearm 1 or 3 minutes after the doors were unlocked.

• To arm the Starter Kill in Active or Passive Mode, press and hold the LOCK button on the transmitter. The parking lights will flash once. (If Remote Door Locks were installed, this will also lock the doors). In Passive Mode, the system will automatically arm 1 or 3 minutes after the engine is shut down.

If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, simply press the START button to remote start or stop your vehicle. Skip the next steps on to “Remote starting”.

Warning: If you vehicle has an automatic transmission and the parking lights flash 15 times after pressing the START button, the parking brake is connected to ground. It is imperative that you see your installer and have him disconnect the wire.

Setting Your Vehicle into Ready Mode

If your vehicle has a manual transmission you must read the following indications. In order to start the vehicle by remote, the unit must first be set to Ready Mode. If the unit is not set to Ready Mode, it cannot remote start the vehicle.
