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

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
Page 4
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).
________________________________________________________
Remote-starting
Press the start button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come on, informing
you that the unit has received your signal. The engine will start approx. 5 seconds later.
The parking lights will remain on during the pre-programmed run time.
If the vehicle doesn’t start at the first attempt, the system will shut down.

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.

playing with the transmitter.
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).
