REMOTE ENGINE STARTING - UNSUCCESSFUL START

In the event that the engine does not start on the first attempt, the

TRANSMITTER BUTTONS

system shuts down for a few seconds, and then attempts to restart
the engine a 2

nd

and 3rd time. For hard starting engines, the unit will
allow a starter crank time of up to a maximum of 13 seconds. This should provide ample cranking time for difficult starts,
but is limited to help prevent damage to the starter from over cranking in the case of a problem with the system.

1. If engine starts on 2

nd

or 3rd attempt, see steps 4 & 5 above of "Successful Start".

2. If Third attempt fails to start engine, the system will turn off and doors will remain locked. NO FURTHER ATTEMPTS

WILL BE MADE AUTOMATICALLY

TURNING OFF A REMOTE STARTED ENGINE:

1. Engine is running in Remote Start (Parking lights are ON).

2. Press and release the Remote Start button again.

3. Engine turns & parking lights OFF, Doors remain locked or will re-lock/re-arm if applicable.

KEYLESS ENTRY (POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL) (OPTIONAL)

This system enables you to remotely lock and unlock the vehicle’s doors (if equipped with power locks) through the
transmitter for safety and convenience. This feature may require extra labor and/or parts to install. Press the
Lock/Unlock button on the transmitter as you leave or come near the vehicle. Parking lights will flash 1X for lock and
2X’s for unlock.

NOTES: Doors lock automatically when vehicle is Remote Started. Starter Disable/Anti-grind is also enabled/disabled
with the lock/unlock button. If an anti-grind/starter kill relay is installed on a vehicle without power door locks, the
lock/unlock button of the remote control must still be used to operate the Starter disable. We recommend installing the
LED also when installing the Optional Starter Disable, as this will be your only indicator that it is active.
