There are several safety considerations with using and installing the RS-4LX Remote
Car Starter. Among them are:
- This unit is for Automatic Transmission vehicles only. Attempting installation in a
manual transmission equipped vehicle can result in property damage or personal injury.
- This unit is for fuel injected gasoline and diesel engines only.
- Children should not be left unattended in, or be allowed to play with the activating transmitters of a remote starter equipped vehicle.
- All installation safety features should be utilized and safety warnings heeded.
Activation: Your RS-4LX Remote Car Starter is activated by remote control. This is
typically done from a small radio transmitter, usually attached to your key ring. As stated
previously, the RS-4LX is an "add on" unit designed to be used in conjunction with another remote control unit such as a remote vehicle security system, keyless entry device or
remote receiver unit. The exact activation method for your vehicle may vary. The normal
activation involves pressing and releasing either a single or multiple button(s) on the transmitter. Please note that other reactions may occur, depending on the host receiver unit.
For example, if a security system's auxiliary output is being utilized, it may also disarm or
it may chirp its siren. As noted earlier, the installer can determine the exact remote start
activation procedure, and also inform you of the total reactions of your particular system.
1) Using a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or a Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) measure the resistor
in the ignition key. This is the small black pellet in the shank of the key. If the meter is not
auto-ranging, set it for the "100kW " scale. When measuring the key, do not touch the
metal parts of the meter probes or erroneous readings can occur.
2) Select the proper value of the 15 included resistors. Use the meter or the following
chart to make the proper selection:
Key Number Value 2% Resistor Band Colors
1 392W Orange, White, Red, Black
2 523 W Green, Red, Orange, Black
3 681 W Blue, Gray, Brown, Black
4 887 W Gray, Gray, Violet, Black
5 1130W Brown, Brown, Orange, Brown
6 1470 W Brown, Yellow, Violet, Brown
7 1870W Brown, Gray, Violet, Brown
8 2370 W Red, Orange, Violet, Brown
9 3010 W Orange, Black, Brown, Brown
10 3740W Orange, Violet, Yellow, Brown
11 4750W Yellow, Violet, Green, Brown
12 6040W Blue, Black, Yellow, Brown
13 7500W Violet, Green, Black, Brown
14 9530W White, Green, Orange, Brown
15 11800W Brown, Brown, Gray, Red
