Important Information
Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start keyless entry
system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed
by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by any-
one other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All deal-

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is pow-
ered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last
approximately one year under normal use. When the battery begins
to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the
remote will dim.
Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and
returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty
will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.
Make sure you receive the warranty registration from your dealer.
It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects
that the product was installed by an authorized dealer.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to oper-
ate this device.

This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission
vehicles only. Use of this remote start system in a standard
transmission vehicle is dangerous and contrary the product's
intended use.
Transmitter Functions
The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any remote
transmitter button to any receiver function. The transmitter ini-
tially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may
also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of
the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard
Configuration transmitter.
Button
The arming function is controlled by pressing on the trans-
mitter for one second.

Using Your System
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
■ Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this
product must only be performed by an authorized DEI dealer.
■ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via
a command signal from the remote control transmitter.
Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or
partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).
When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or
when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system
must be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It is the
user's sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of
reach from children all remote control transmitters to assure
that the system does not unintentionally remote start the
vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE
DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE
VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING
AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE
STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These
precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.
■ Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode
of operation may result in property damage, personal injury,
or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehi-

cle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safe-
ty feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the
vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This
testing should be performed by an authorized DEI dealer in
accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product
installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote
start operation immediately and consult with the authorized
DEI dealer to fix the problem.
■ After the remote start module has been installed, contact your
authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start
module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the prod-
uct installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing
the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit
has not been properly installed. The remote start module must
be removed or the installer must properly reinstall the remote
start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All
installations must be performed by an authorized DEI dealer.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE
STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF
OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER
THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE
OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED
DEI DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED
REMOTE START MODULE. DEI WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSI-
BLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

You can arm the system by pressing of your transmitter for one
second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound,
or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the power door
locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. While
the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately twice
per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your
vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and note that the
status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this
guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will
automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the
system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing
a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive arming count-
down, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the sys-
tem is armed. At the 20-second point of the countdown, the siren will
chirp to indicate that the system is about to arm. At the 30-second
point, the parking lights will flash to indicate that the system is armed.
NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected
trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless forced
passive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options section.)
Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
Arming your security system protects your vehicle as follows:
■ Light impacts trigger the Warn Away
®
signal. When triggered,
the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
Arming

■ Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence con-
sists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking lights
flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can range in
duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
■ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirp-
ing the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds
later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This
progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with
your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the
system is armed, while still providing instant response (even
if the door is immediately closed).
■ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive re-
sponse as opening a door.
■ The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the sys-
tem's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed
when the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section of this
guide.) Pressing (only in Standard Configuration) again within
five seconds of arming the system will activate the Multi-Level
Security feature. Each time is pressed again, a different secu-
rity level is selected. The different security levels are selected as
follows:
■ Pressing once: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.
