A note concerning the battery inside the transmitter:
Depending on the usage of the transmitter, the battery can last anywhere
between 3 to 6 months. When the battery is low, the transmitter will emit two
beeps in a repetitive cycle. At that point you should replace the battery with a
new one. That is why we recommend that you keep a spare battery somewhere
handy such as the glove compartment.

Introduction
This System is a state-of-the-art remote car starter and alarm combo system. The system is
packed with advanced features such as priority access to the driver’s door and Car Finder
(commodity features), last armed state memory in case of power failure (which ensures that the
vehicle remains protected after a power failure recovery) and the Safe Start children safety feature.
With many advanced functions, this product will satisfy any one your expectations from high-end
commodity and security systems, without neglecting any standard feature commonly offered by
entry-level starters.
Using the Remote Control
Your Remote Car Starter is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate
two independent vehicles equipped with a Remote Car Starter (see Multi-Car Operation section,
later in this Guide, for second-car transmitter functions).
The functions of the transmitter are as follows:
LCD Remote Functions
The Transmitter offers several command-confirmation and timer features. This
section explains some of the key functions available on the Remote Control. Next
section gives a summary of the button combinations used to access the functions
(see LCD Remote Operation Tables).
Note:
If you wish to exit a function while still in the process of accessing it, simply stop and wait for at
least 10 seconds: the Remote Control will return to its normal state.
Basic Vehicle Operation
The vehicle can be remote-started and stopped using the
START/STOP ( ) button. The
TRUNK ( ) button will open the Trunk (if this feature is installed on the vehicle). The LOCK
(
) and UNLOCK ( ) buttons will lock and unlock the Doors of the vehicle (if the Remote
Door Lock feature is installed on the vehicle) and arm or disarm the Starter Kill (if installed).
User Guide P. 3
The FUNCTION ( ) button is used to access all advanced functions of the Remote Control.
(Refer to the LCD Operation and Confirmations tables.)
Alarm Clock
The LCD Remote Control has a built-in Alarm Clock which can be set up using the
but-
ton. Use the
and buttons to switch the Alarm Clock on and off (refer to the tables).
Time Adjust Mode
Use Time Adjust Mode to set the current time on your Remote Control using the
button
(refer to the tables).
Countdown Timer
This feature allows set up a countdown of a duration entered by the user in hours and
minutes using the button (refer to the tables).
Parking Countdown
This version of the Countdown feature is particularly useful for keeping track of parking
meter time: the user may quickly set up the countdown in slices of 10 or 30 minutes using
the
and buttons (refer to the tables).
Melody Selection
The Remote Control allows the user to select which melodies are to be used upon the
following events: remote starting of the vehicle, the Alarm, ending of the countdown,
entering Cold Weather Mode. Melodies for these various events can be selected using the
button (refer to the tables).
Vibration Mode
Use this feature to replace audible signals with a vibration signal. Use the
and
buttons to switch Vibration Mode ON and OFF (refer to the tables).
Power Saving Mode
When set to Power Saving Mode, the Remote Control will cease polling the Remote Starter
Module on a regular basis for status information. This will extend battery life. Use the
and buttons to switch Power Saving Mode ON and OFF (refer to the tables).
Remote Control Finder
This function allows the user to locate the Remote Control when it has been accidentally
dropped near the vehicle. Pressing the Valet Button and holding it down for 3 seconds (or
until the Parking Lights flash five times) will cause the Remote Control to start beeping for
one minute. The beeping will stop by itself after one minute, or it can be switched off by
pressing the Lock (
) or the Unlock ( ) button on the Remote Control.
P. 4 User Guide
Door and Hood Monitoring
The remote control will warn the user when any sensor zone is either open or under attack:
If a door is left open, the remote control will beep once and the door will start flashing on the
Vehicle icon of the display. After If the door is closed, the remote control will beep a second
time and the door image will stop flashing after five seconds.
If the hood is left unclosed, the remote control will beep once and the hood will start flashing
on the Vehicle icon of the display. After If the hood is closed, the remote control will beep a
second time and the hood image will stop flashing after five seconds.
If the alarm detects an intrusion either through a door or through the hood, the alarm will be
triggered. This event will be reported on the remote control by the Intrusion Icon (
) which
will start flashing on the display. This will go on until either the Lock (
) or
the Unlock ( ) button is pressed on the remote control.

Remote-Starting Your Vehicle
Remote-starting
Press the START/STOP button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON and the remote
control will play a melody to inform you that the System 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, wait a few seconds and
try to start the engine again. There will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up.
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.

Advanced Features: Installation-programmable Options
The System 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 System.
The installation-programmable options are as follows:
• Remote Door Locks
• Priority Door Access
• Passive or Active Arming
• Starter Kill / Anti-grind feature
• Shock Sense and Warn-away
• Disarmed Notification
• Siren / Horn Chirps
• Car Finder
• Siren / Horn Chirp Timing
• Safe Start
• Ignition-controlled Door Locks
• Ignition Re-lock
• Secure Lock
• Turbo Mode
• Remote Trunk Release
• Engine Run Time
• Multi-car Operation
Remote Door Locks
If your System was installed with the Remote Door Locks option, you will have the convenience of
remote keyless entry. See section Arming and Disarming the System, earlier in this Guide, for
further instructions on remote door locking and unlocking.
Priority Door Access
(Enabled by default.) 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.
Active or Passive Arming
(Passive Mode by default.) The alarm and Starter Kill can be configured either to Passive Mode (so
as to arm automatically) or Active Mode (so as to require user intervention for arming). By default,
your System is configured to Passive Mode. In Passive Mode, the alarm and Starter Kill will
automatically arm 30 seconds after the last door is closed. The System will not arm if a door is left
open, or if you re-open a door within the 30-second delay.
Important note: When the System re-arms automatically or if there is an alarm condition, you
can disarm the When the System by simply pressing the UNLOCK button.
User Guide P. 13
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 System 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.
Shock Sense, Warn-away Sense
(Both enabled by default.) Your System will react to a full shock by triggering the alarm; it can also
respond to a lighter shock (30 % of the strength of a full shock) by giving a warn-away (without
triggering an alarm condition). When the engine is running after a remote start, however, the
System will prevent any alarm condition to be triggered; it will still give a warn-away if this
feature has not been disabled at installation.
Note: After a remote start, although the shock sensor is disabled, all the other alarmtriggering zones, such as the doors or the hood, may still trigger an alarm.
Disarmed Notification
(Off by default.) This feature will notify the user when the vehicle was left disarmed: after the
engine is shut down (with the key removed) and all doors are closed, the siren will chirp once after
a 10-sec. notification delay to warn the user that the vehicle was left unprotected. The notification
can be avoided by pressing the
LOCK or UNLOCK button on the transmitter.
The user will likewise be notified after the System is disarmed using the transmitter.
Siren or Horn Chirps
(
ON by default.) The siren will chirp to confirm basic operations on the System:
• By default, upon locking the doors the siren will give one chirp if no protection zone is active.
• If a zone is active as the doors are being locked, the siren will give three chirps.
• When the doors are being unlocked, the siren will give two chirps if no intrusion was detected.
• If an intrusion was detected, as the doors are being unlocked the siren will give four chirps.
The system can alternatively be set to:
Warning Mode: no chirp during lock/unlock…
• unless a zone is active when locking, in which case there will be 3 chirp upon locking
• or unless the alarm was triggered, in which case there will be 4 chirps when unlocking);
Open Zone Notification Mode: 3 warning chirps if a door is left open 10 sec. after arming.
No Chirp: the siren will not chirp under any circumstance.
Car Finder
(Enabled by default.) When enabled, the Car Finder option will help you locate your vehicle by
generating a pulsating signal through the horn or the siren. To hear the signal, press the
LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons simultaneously. This will cause a pulsating signal lasting for the time you keep the
buttons pressed.
Siren or Horn Chirp Timing
The duration of the chirps can be adjusted at installation (from 5 to 200 ms).
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.
If Swap Start Mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle press
LOCK and UNLOCK
simultaneously. The
AUX 2 output can be activated by pressing the START/STOP button.
P. 14 User Guide
Home Valet TM
If this feature is installed, the user will have the possibility to remotely set the vehicle to a noremote-start mode. See Home Valet section, earlier in this Guide, for full instructions.
Ignition-controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your Systems was installed with the Ignition-Controlled 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 Systems 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 System 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.
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.
Turbo Mode
When left in Turbo Mode, the System will keep the engine running for 60 seconds before shutting it
down. This is to allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle. See Turbo
Mode section earlier in this Guide.
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 on the remote transmitter or by pressing the TRUNK button
TWICE within 3 seconds.
Engine Run Time
If you have a gas engine, your System can be programmed to run the engine for 4, 15, or
25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the System can be programmed to
run the engine for 9, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default).
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with System systems, to control both
systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle, simultaneously press the
TRUNK button and the button of the function you wish to use. See the transmitter operation table
earlier in this Guide. for full instructions on second car operation.
Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer.
L.E.D. Intrusion Codes
If an intrusion took place while your vehicle was locked and the system was armed, the L.E.D. will
provide feedback on the intrusion. The L.E.D. intrusion codes are flashed by the L.E.D. in
continuous loops and are as follows:
User Guide P. 15
1 flash = power-up reset: battery
disconnected and reconnected, or dead
battery.
2 flash = doors intrusion
3 flash = shock sense
4 flash = hood intrusion
5 flash = panic
6 flash = ignition
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.
