^alet^witchj^^^^^^n^all^^J
Introduction This Module is a state-of-the-art combination of an Alarm system and a remote car
starter. It represents a major breakthrough in vehicle security technology and remote starter systems. This unit is distributed with a super-heterodyne antenna with range of up to 1500 feet / 450 m.
Basic Remote Operation This system is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel transmitter. It can operate two in
dependent identically-equipped vehicles (see Multi-Car Operation for second-car transmitter functions).
The functions of the transmitter are as follows:
STOP:
Stops the engine if pressed for less than 3 seconds or triggers Panic mode if pressed for more than 3 seconds.
UNLOCK
and disarms the STARTER KILL. Activates the AUX 2 output if priority door access is configured. Triggers Panic if pressed more than 3 seconds
START
engine or gets the system into Cold Weather mode if pressed for 3 seconds.
: Unlocks the doors
: Remote starts the
Note: Pressing the lock and unlock buttons at the same time will activate the aux 2 output.
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.
User Guide P. 3

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 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. 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:
1. Door opened;
2. Hood opened;
3. Brake pedal pressed;
4. Parking brake disengaged;
______
5. 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).

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 vehicles could cause them to remain on even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead battery.

Ignition-Controlled Door Locks This is an added security feature. If your system was installed with the Ignition-Controlled
Door Locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the key is turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key us turned to the OFF position, the doors will automatically be unlocked.
Ignition Re-Lock When the Ignition-Controlled Door Locks option is enabled and the ignition is on, should any door be unlocked and opened, all the doors will be re-locked next time the brake pedal is pressed.

the settings may affect the operation of your system.
The user-selectable options are as follows:
Safe Start Ignition Re-Lock Remote Door Locks Secure Lock Passive or Active Arming Remote Trunk Release Disarm Notification Starter Kill Shock Sense and Warn-Away Sense Engine Run Time Siren Chirps

P. 8 User Guide
Remote Door Locks If your system was installed with the Remote Door Locks option, you will have the convenience of remote keyless entry.
To unlock your doors and disarm the system:
1. Press and hold the unlock button for approx. 1 sec.
2. The parking lights will flash twice and the LED will go out to confirm that the doors have been unlocked, that the Starter Kill feature is disarmed (if it was installed) and that the Alarm is disabled.
To lock your doors and arm the system:
1. Press and hold the lock button for approx. 1 sec.
2. The parking lights will flash once and the LED will flash slowly to confirm that the doors have been locked, that the Starter Kill feature is enabled (if it was installed) and that the Alarm is armed.
Passive or Active Arming By default, the system is configured to Passive Arming Mode. In Passive Arming Mode, the Starter Kill and the Alarm will automatically arm 30 seconds after the last door is closed. The system will not arm itself if a door is left open.
Important note: When the system re-arms automatically or if there is an Alarm condition, you
can disarm the system by simply pressing the unlock button.
Disarmed Notification
(off by default.) This feature will notify the user when the vehicle was left disarmed: after
the Engine has been shut down and all doors have been closed, after 10 seconds the horn will honk once if the doors have been left unlocked.
Shock Sense And Warn-Away Sense (Both enabled by default.) This system can 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 warning sound if warn-away is enabled.
Siren Chirps (On by default.) The siren will chirp to confirm the system's basic operations: By default, when the doors are being locked the siren will give one chirp if none of the zones are 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 (the system will warn for doors opened up to 10 seconds after arming). No Chirp (the vehicle will not chirp under any circumstance).
