How the CSM-3 Operates

The CSM-3 functions as a keyless entry
system and a remote vehicle starter. All
features of the CSM-3 are controlled
through the supplied remote transmitters.

Starting the Vehicle with the Remote Starter

Press the START button on the remote transmitter. The parking lights will flash one time to
confirm that the vehicle is about to start. The CSM-3 will energize the vehicle ignition

system and crank the starter for up to 5 seconds, disengaging as soon as the vehicle
starts.

If the vehicle does not start...

If the vehicle does not start on the first attempt, the CSM-3 will pause 5 seconds, then try
3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of four attempts). On each attempt the CSM-3 will
crank the starter one second longer than the previous attempt. The CSM-3 pauses 5
seconds between each start attempt.
If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the CSM-3 will shut down.

After the vehicle has started...

Immediately after the parking lights have turned on, the vehicle accessories (heater, air
conditioning, etc.) will turn on to cool or heat the vehicle and the vehicle parking lights
will turn on to indicate the vehicle has started (and is still running). The vehicle will run
for 15 minutes before shutting down.

If the vehicle stalls...

If the vehicle stalls, the CSM-3 will pause 5 seconds, then attempt to restart the vehicle
following the same procedure as above. The 15-minute run time timer will resume where
it left off when the vehicle stalled.
