Vehicle Presets
Heater S Heated Seat
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if
equipped) should not be left on high. It is recommended to leave the settings on low or medium
instead.
Windshield Wipers S Radio S Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to become
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wiper and headlight switches are off. Leaving the headlight switch on on certain types
of vehicles could cause them to remain on even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead
battery.
Arming the Starter Kill
The Starter Kill (if installed) can be configured by the installer so as to arm automatically (Passive
Mode) or not to arm automatically (Active Mode).
• To disarm the Starter Kill, press the unlock button on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash twice.
If remote door locks are installed, this will also unlock the doors.
• To arm the Starter Kill, press the lock button on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash once.
If remote door locks are installed, this will also lock the doors.
• In Passive Mode, the Starter Kill will automatically arm if the ignition key is not inserted
Into the ignition switch within 1 or 3 minutes after unlocking (the key sense feature
must be installed).

Remote-Starting Your Vehicle
Setting Your Vehicle Into Ready Mode
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.
Once the system is set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote-started and stopped at wish.
To set the system to Ready Mode:
1. Ensure that all the doors are closed and that the shifter is in the NEUTRAL position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal.
• Make sure to release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. press lock, unlock or start/stop on the transmitter.
• The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will go on running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close the door.
6. Press and hold either:
a. lock to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
b. unlock to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
c. start/stop to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
Remaining In Ready Mode
Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at wish. However, should
any of the following occur, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode - thus eliminating the remote start
option until Ready Mode is restored:
• Door opened;
• Hood opened;
• Brake pedal pressed;
• Parking brake disengaged;
• Ignition key turned to the ignition on (run) position.
Note: The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving 3 slow flashes
(parking lights).
Remote-starting
Press the start/stop button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come on to inform you
that the Remote Car Starter has received your signal. Approximately 5 seconds later, the engine
will start. The parking lights will remain on during the pre-programmed run time of the engine.
If the vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down.
Driving Off
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the unlock button to disarm and unlock the
doors. Enter the vehicle and do the following:
• Turn the ignition key to the ignition on (run) position. (Do not turn the key to the crank
position while the engine is running. This would cause the starter motor to re-engage.)
• Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit.
You are now ready to drive off.
Status Request When the Engine is Running
When the vehicle doors are locked:
The LED # 1 will flash 3 times to denote that the vehicle's doors are locked.

Table 3
Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
• The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers^)
• Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor
range.
• The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in
this case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is
facing in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on - standing in front of
the vehicle - generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the
back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest
range.
• The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
• Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
• The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or
factory alarm.

Advanced Features: Installation-programmable Options
The remote car starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its program
mable options, this unit can single-handedly control nearly any electrical system in your vehicle.
Caution: The programming of your system should be left to a professional. Changing any
one of the settings may affect the operation of your Remote Car Starter.
Remote Door Locks
If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Remote Door Locks option, you will have the
convenience of remote keyless entry. See section Arming the Starter Kill, earlier in this Guide, for
further instructions on remote door locking and unlocking.
Priority Door Access
If the Remote Door Locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock
solely the driver's door with a single press of the unlock button on the transmitter; upon a second
press of the unlock button, all the other doors will unlock.
Ignition-controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the IgnitionControlled Door Locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is
turned to the ignition on (run) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the
off position, the doors will automatically be unlocked.
Ignition Re-lock
On Remote Car Starters of this series, when Ignition-controlled Door Locks are enabled and the
ignition key is in the ignition on (run) position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors
will be relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed.
Secure Lock
Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the Remote Car Starter must first disarm the factory
security system. The Secure Lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory
security systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed.
P. 10 User Guide
User Guide P. 7
To keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start,
Secure Lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle
ends, Secure Lock will rearm your factory security system.
Remote Trunk Release
If your system was installed with the remote trunk release option, you can open your trunk by
pressing the trunk button for 3 seconds.
The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature
With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition
key when the Starter Kill is armed. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Starter Kill
option, one will not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked
and disarmed first, or put into Valet Mode.
Note: If the Starter Kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter
motor damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of
habit, turn the ignition key to the
crank position.
Safe Start
If this feature is enabled, the user must press the start/stop button 2 times within 3 seconds to
remote-start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing
with the transmitter.
1. Press and release the start/stop button.
The parking lights will turn on.
2. Within 2 seconds of the parking lights turning on, press and release start/stop again (before
the parking lights turn off).
If Swap Start Mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle press shift and then lock. The aux2
output can be activated by pressing the start/stop button.

Turbo Mode
If Turbo Mode is configured at installation, it will allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user
leaves the vehicle: the unit will take over the vehicle and keep it running for 60 seconds (or until it
is shut down by remote control), then shut down the engine and set the Remote Car Starter to
Ready Mode.
Follow all steps of the Ready Mode routine to activate Turbo Mode:
1. Ensure that all the doors are closed and that the shifter is in the neutral position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. press lock, unlock or start/stop on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will go on running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close the door.
6. Press and hold either:
a. lock to lock the doors and shut down the engine after 60 sec.;
b. unlock to unlock the doors and shut down the engine after 60 sec.;
c. start/stop to shut down the engine immediately, without affecting the doors
(this will by-pass Turbo Mode).
D. trunk to set the vehicle into idle mode
