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.

To stop the vehicle, at any moment, simply press the
START/STOP button. This procedure can only
be carried out once per remote start.
Example: If your Module is programmed for a run time of 3 minutes and your vehicle has been
running for 2 minutes already, pressing the
START/STOP button will reset the counter to zero and the
Engine will run for another cycle (in this case, 3 minutes).
Advanced Features: Installation-programmable Options
The remote car starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its programmable 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. Please note that the
following programmable options may require additional parts and labor.
Passive or Active Arming of the Starter Kill

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 vehicle itself.
• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well (vans in general have less 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.
• The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or
factory alarm.
