The status request feature allows the us er to see the status of the vehicle i. e.: if the doors are locked or unlocked or if the vehicle is in cold weather mode, home valet mode, in val et mode or how much time is left in the run time cycle. The following charts (Tables 1, 2 and 3) indicate the confirmation sequences.
To retrieve the vehicle status: Press and release the AUX button then press and release th e button (there will be a beep).
The transmitter will then flas h the corresponding sequence of LED’s depending on th e vehicle’s status.
x If the engine is NOT running x If the vehicle is in or out of ready mode x If the engine IS running under a remote start (if the doors are locked)
or (if the doors are unlocked). The status request feature is a two-step procedure:
The first sequence of flashes denotes if the vehicle’s doors are locked or unlocked.
The secon d sequence of flashes (if applicable) denotes if the vehic le is Cold Weather mode,
Home valet mode, or, Valet mode.

TroubleshootingPoorTransmittingRange
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
The operati ng environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency nois e, airports, cellular
phone towers…).
Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
The shape o f the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in genera l have an especially poor
range.
The shape of th e roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency defl ection (in this case the signal from the remote control). As a res ult, the direction in which the vehicl e is facing in relation to the remote control c an affect the range. Straigh t on – standing in front of the vehicle – generally gives you the great es t rang e; th e s ec ond bes t performance is from the back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.
The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory alarm.
