Introduction
This Module is a state -of- the-art remote car starter system. With many advanced function,
this product will satisfy any one of the user’s expectations from high-end commodity systems,
without neglecting the standard features commonly offered by entry-level starters.

The functions of the transmitter are as follows:
Remote-starting Your Vehicle
Press the START/STOP button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON, informing
you that the unit has received your signal. Approx. 5 seconds later, the engine will start. The
parking lights will remain ON during the pre-programmed run time.
If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds, and
try to start the engine again. It will try to start the engine 3 times before g iving up.
Setting the system to Ready Mode
This unit is designed for Manual Transmissions only. In order to remote-start the vehicle, the
Unit must first be set to Ready mode. If the Unit is not set to Ready Mode, it cannot remote start the vehicle. Once the system has been set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote
started and stopped at will (as long as the Unit never exits Ready Mode).
1. Ensure that all the Doors are closed and that the Gear Lever is in the Neutral
position.
2. With the Engine already running, apply the Parking Brake.
3. Within 20 sec. press 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 go on running.

Remaining in Ready Mode
Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at wish. However, if
any one of the following events occurs, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode – thus eliminating
the remote start option until Ready Mode is restored:
• Door opened;
• Hood opened;
• Brakes pressed;
• Parking Brake disengaged;
• Key turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
Should any of the above occur, Ready Mode will be cancelled.
Note: The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving three slow flashes
of the vehicle’s Parking Lights.
Remote-Starting
Press the START/STOP button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON, informing
you that the unit has received your signal. Approx. 5 seconds later, the engine will start. The
Parking Lights will remain ON during the pre-programmed run time.
If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds, and
try to start the engine again. It will try to start the engine 3 times before giving up.
Vehicle Presets
Heater and 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 and 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 the remote
starter shuts down, resulting in a dead battery.
Driving Off
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the UNLOCK button to DISARM and UNLOCK
the doors (if installed). Enter the vehicle and do the following:
• Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
• Press the brakes to disengage the remote starter unit.
You are now ready to drive off.
Caution: do not turn the key to the CRANK position with the engine running. This will cause
the starter motor to re-engage, unless your vehicle is equipped with the Start Kill / AntiGrind Feature (Optional).
Idle Mode
This feature allows the user to engage the remote starter to take over the vehicle while it is
already running with the key in the IGNITION switch. The vehicle will keep running for the preprogrammed run time, or until it is shut down by remote.
Caution: Do not leave children or pets unattended in a car running in Idle Mode.
