When the battery is low, the transmitter will produce two beeps in a repetitive cycle. At that point
you should replace your battery with a new one. That is why we recommend that you keep a
spare battery somewhere handy such as the glove compartment.

Vehicle Presets
Heater & 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 & Radio & 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.
P. 2 User Guide
Using the Transmitter
Your remote starter is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate two
independent vehicles equipped with identical remote starters (see Multi-car operation section on
page 13).
LCD Remote Functions
The transmitter offers several command-confirmation and timer features. This section explains
some of the key functions available. The next section gives a summary of the button combinations
used to access the functions._____________________________________________________________
Note: If you wish to exit a function while still in the process of accessing it, simply stop and wait at
least 5 seconds: the transmitter will return to its normal state.

P. 4 User Guide
User Guide P. 17
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.

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.

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 ' button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come on to inform you that the
remote 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 H 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.
Arm!irg_the Stajter Kill _

must be installed).
Remote Starter Features
Idle Mode
Convenience feature: Idle Mode allows you to keep the engine running and the doors
locked while you stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery.
This feature allows you to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the
Ignition Switch) while the engine is running. For example, if you stop for a delivery or at a conveni
ence store, lock your vehicle and leave it running for the length of a run cycle while you are away.
The engine will go on running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the
Engine Run Time.
Idle Mode can be activated through the same routine as that used for Ready Mode; at the last step,
the button is pressed instead of the other buttons:
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. push SI, Sor ‘ij 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 the button until the system is armed (the doors will be locked if remote door
lock is installed).
If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote control, the
vehicle will get in Ready Mode.
Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode.
Valet Modes
Ignition Valet
This feature will allow you to remotely put your system into valet mode by using the ignition key
instead of the valet button as above. Ignition valet can be used without a valet button installed.
To put the system into valet mode:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. Within 10 sec., turn the key 5 times successively into
the IGNITION ON; run and off positions.
The parking lights will flash three times to indicate that the vehicle is now in valet mode. The L.E.D.
will come ON solid.
— The El icon will appear on your LCD remote if you press lock or unlock..
To take the system out of valet mode:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. Within 10 sec., turn the key 5 times successively into
the IGNITION ON; run and off positions.
The parking lights will flash twice to indicate that the vehicle is now out of valet mode. The L.E.D.
will go out.
Flashing LED off: the LED will not flash even when the module is armed (either under active or
passive arming). Nevertheless, if the module enters valet mode, the LED will still remain lit
without flashing as long as the ignition is off.
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with the same Remote Car Starter
model, to control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle:
