Remote-Starting Your Vehicle

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

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.

Please note that Ready Mode can be enabled by the remote or the handbrake, depending on the option that was selected by your installer. Therefore, you must follow the appropriate procedure between the two described below in order to set your vehicle into Ready Mode.

Once the system is set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote started and stopped at any time. The system will exit Ready Mode if a door, the hood or the trunk is opened, if the brake pedal is pressed, if the parking brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the position.

To set the system to Ready Mode:

If Ready Mode is enabled by remote If Ready Mode is enabled by handbrake

1. Ensure that all the doors, hood and trunk are closed. Make sure that the gear selector is in the neutral position.

2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake once and release the brake pedal. Make sure to release the brake pedal.

3. Within 20 sec. of engaging the parking brake, press and hold 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 continue running.

5. Exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood and trunk.

6. Press for approx. 1 second either:

a. LOCK to lock the doors and shut down the engine;

2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake twice and release the brake pedal.

Make sure to release the brake pedal. The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit. Skip to step 4.

IGNITION ON (RUN)

b. UNLOCK to unlock the doors and shut down the engine; c. START/STOP to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.

Note: The vehicle will also enter Ready Mode once the engine run time expires.

Remote-starting

Press the START/STOP button for approximately 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 engine.

If the vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds and try to start the engine again. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, there will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up.

Driving Off

With the vehicle running under remote control, press the and/or the OEM-style alarm (if installed) and unlock the doors. Enter the vehicle and do the following:

1. 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.)

2. Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit.

You are now ready to drive off.

Remote Starter Features

Idle Mode

Convenience feature: Idle Mode allows the user to keep the engine running and the doors locked while they stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery.

This feature allows the user to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the Ignition Switch) while the engine is running.

If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, proceed as follows to set the system to Idle Mode:

1. With the engine running, make sure to release the brake pedal and press the LOCK, UNLOCK or

START/STOP button on the transmitter until the parking lights come ON.

2. Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch.

The engine will continue running.

3. Exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood and trunk.

4. Press the LOCK button to leave the doors locked.

This will also arm the OEM-style alarm and starter kill (if configured).

5. Press the UNLOCK button to leave the doors unlocked.

Note: The engine will continue running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the engine run time.

If the vehicle has a manual transmission, Idle Mode can be activated through the same routine

as that used for Ready Mode (see “Ready Mode Option” in this Guide); at the last step, the

TRUNK button is pressed instead of the other buttons.

Please note that the horn will honk once and that the OEM-style alarm will be armed if the Idle Mode option is enabled.

Note: If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote

control, the vehicle will enter Ready Mode.
