Introduction

This is a state-of-the-art remote car starter system. The system is packed with advanced features

such as priority access to the driver’s door (commodity features) and the Safe Start children safety

feature.

With many advanced functions, this product will satisfy any one of your expectations from high-end

commodity and security systems, without neglecting any standard feature commonly offered by

entry-level starters.

UsingtheRemoteControl

Your Remote Car Starter is equipped with a 4-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate

two independent vehicles equipped with the same Remote Car Starter (see Multi-Car Operation

section (page-10), later in this Guide, for second-car transmitter functions).

The functions of the transmitter are as follows:

VehiclePresets

Heater&HeatedSeat

When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the

next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if

equipped) should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or

MEDIUM instead.

WindshieldWipers,Radio&Headlights

Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wipers and / or headlights circuits to become

energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the

windshield wipers and headlights switches are OFF. Leaving the headlights switch ON on certain

types of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shutdown, resulting in a

dead battery.

RemoteStartingYourVehicle

SettingYourVehicleIntoReadyMode

If your vehicle has a manual transmission you must read the following indications. The unit must

first be set to Ready Mode in order to start the vehicle by remote. If the unit is not set to Ready

Mode, it cannot remote start the vehicle. Please note that Ready Mode can be enabled by the

remote or the handbrake, depending on the option that was selected by your installer. Therefore,

you must follow the appropriate procedure between the two described below in order to set your

vehicle into Ready Mode.

Once the system is set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote started and stopped at any time.

The system will exit Ready Mode if a door, the hood or the trunk is opened, if the brake pedal is

pressed, if the parking brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the IGNITION ON

(RUN) position.

To set the system to Ready Mode:

If Ready Mode is enabled by remote

If Ready Mode is enabled by handbrake

1. Ensure that all the doors, hood and trunk are closed. Make sure that the gear selector is in the

neutral position.

2. With the engine already running, apply the

parking brake once and release the brake

pedal.

2. With the engine already running, apply the

parking brake twice within 10sec.

Make sure to release the brake pedal.

The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly

and remain lit.

Skip to step 4.

3. Within 20 sec. of engaging the parking

brake, press and hold , or on

the transmitter.

The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly

and remain lit.

4. Remove the key: the engine will continue running.

5. Exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood and trunk.

6. Press for approx. 1 second either:

•to lock the doors and shut down the engine;

•to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;

AdvancedFeatures:Installationprogrammable

Options

The Remote Car Starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its

programmable options, this unit can single-handedly control nearly any electrical system in your

vehicle.

Caution: The programming of your system should be left to a professional. Changing any

one of the settings may affect the operation of your Remote Car Starter. Please note that the

following programmable options may require additional parts and labor.

IgnitioncontrolledDoorLocks

This is an added security feature. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Ignition-

Controlled Door Locks option, the doors will automatically lock as soon as the ignition key is turned

to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. The remote car starter will also lock

any door that was unlocked and opened (then closed) the next time the break pedal is pressed.

PoorTransmittingRangeIssues

Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:

•The condition of the battery in the transmitter.

•The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular

phone towers…)

•Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.

•The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor

range.

•The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this

case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing

in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the

vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back.

Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.
