REMOTE-STARTING REMOTE-STARTING THE VEHICLE This Remote-Starter supports both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. For manual transmis-sion vehicles see the Ready Mode section. REMOTE-STARTINGSTEP1 To remote-start the vehicle press the START button for approximately 3 second. STEP 2 The parking lights will turn on to indicate a response to the Remote-Start signal.STEP 3 Approximately 5 seconds later the engine will crank. Once the vehicle starts the parking lights will turn on and remain on for the entire duration of the Remote-Starter runtime, or until the Remote-Starter is shut down.If the vehicle fails to start on the  rst attempt, the Remote-Starter will wait 3 seconds before it will attempt to start the vehicle again. The Remote-Starter will attempt to start the vehicle 2 times (de-fault) before giving up. (See Failed Remote Start page 14) ACCESSORY PRESETHeater & Heated Seat(s): When leaving the vehicle it is recommended that the driver pre-set the climate controls in preparation for a later Remote-Start. When the vehicle Remote-Starts, the current (or last) setting for the climate controls, windshield wipers (and other accessories) will be used. When setting the blower motor (fan speed) and heated seats (if equipped) should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave these settings on either a LOW or MEDIUM setting. Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights: Some vehicles require the radio, windshield wiper, headlight circuits to become energized while running under Remote-Start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the windshield wiper and headlight switches are turned off. Leaving the headlights on with some vehicles could cause them to remain on even after the Remote-Starter has shut down, resulting in a dead battery. Rear Defrost: On most vehicles the Rear Defrost can only be activated after the vehicle has been started and in most cases this feature is not included with a Remote-Starter installa-tion. On some vehicles it may be possible for the installer to hook this feature up so it either automatically enables after Remote-Start or can be enabled by using an AUX output. (See Auxiliary use, page 11). Driver Presets: Some vehicles retain different seat, mirror and radio settings for each dri-ver. Different driver presets are not controlled by the Remote-Starter, however they may be controlled with the Bypass/Interface Kit. READY MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY) Two activation methods are possible, please consult the salesman or installer to determine which of these modes applies to your vehicle. There are always safety concerns for a manual transmission vehicle to accidentally start while in gear, Ready Mode alleviates these concerns. The driver must enable Ready Mode in order to Remote-Start the vehicle at a later time. Once Ready Mode is set-up the vehicle can be started/stopped at will, as many times as needed. However once the parking brake is disengaged, the hood is opened, or any of the doors are opened, Ready Mode will deactivate and the vehicle will not start until Ready Mode is reactivated.Page 6 / 15

CANCELLING A REMOTE START See USING THE REMOTE CONTROL, page 5 REMOTE-STARTER FEATURES IDLE MODE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) Idle Mode allows the vehicle to run without the key in the ignition barrel. For example, if you stop for a quick errand or delivery, simply allow the vehicle to run while you are gone. The engine will run until the Remote-Starter runtime expires. Press START any time the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter to reset this timer. To activate Idle Mode (automatic transmission) proceed with the following steps:STEP 1 With the key in the barrel at the ignition (ON/RUN) position and the en-gine running, press the START button until the parking lights turn on. STEP 2 OFF Turn the key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition barrel. The vehicle will continue to run with the Remote-Starter.The engine will continue to run until either the remote stop function is pressed (see USING THE RE-MOTE CONTROL, page 5), the Remote-Starter runtime expires, the parking brake is disengaged, the brake is pressed, or the hood is opened. If the Remote-Starter is shut down by transmitter it will automatically go in to Ready Mode (if all the doors are closed). WARNING : Never leave children or animals in a Remote-Started vehicle unattended. I DLE MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) Idle mode is activated in much the same way Ready Mode is activated, except for Step 1. To activate Idle Mode (manual transmission) proceed with the following steps: IDLE MODE ACTIVATION:The vehicle must be running.STEP 1 Ensure the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position.STEP 2Open at least one door.STEP 3 Engage the parking brake.Page 8 / 15

The vehicle will continue to run after all the doors are closed.STEP 4 Press the LOCK button to lock the doors. The vehicle will continue to run for 60 seconds. TURBO MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) Turbo Mode (if installed) is similar to Idle Mode but is used to cool down the turbo-charger once the driver leaves the vehicle. The Remote-Starter will continue run the vehicle for 2 minutes allowing the turbo-charger to cool down. To activate Turbo Mode (manual transmission) proceed with the following steps: See IDLE MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) page 8. V ALET MODE (VIA SWITCH) Valet Mode disables both the Remote-Starter and Alarm system. Whenever the vehicle is being serviced or repaired, or the vehicle is parked indoors it is mandatory that Valet Mode be enabled to prevent an accidental Remote-Start. Note: The alarm system is not active (including Starter Kill) when the system is in Valet Mode. However you are still able to lock and unlock the doors, and release the rear hatch/trunk.Note: When the Remote-Starter/Alarm is in Valet Mode, the LED will stay ON solid instead of  ashing Page 9 / 15

With the following programmable options the Remote-Starter/Alarm can control most electronic sys-tems within the vehicle.Page 11 / 15
WARNING: This Remote-Starter must be installed by a trained professional. Improper modi cations to any of the following settings could adversely affect the reliability of the Remote-Starter and/or the vehicle’s operation. Confi gurable Options:- Remote Door Locks - Active or Passive Arming - Ignition Door Locks - Security Lock - Trunk/Hatch Release - Runtime - Runtime Reset - Secure Transmitter Mode REMOTE DOOR LOCKS If the Remote-Starter is installed with door locks, you will be able to lock and unlock the vehicle without using the key or OEM key fob. To UNLOCK the doors and DISARM the Alarm: Press the UNLOCK button for 0.5 sec-ond. The parking lights will  ash twice and the LED will turn OFF to con rm the signal. The Starter-Kill will also deactivate allowing the vehicle to be started with the key. If UNLOCK is pressed again (consecutively) the horn will honk twice (if installed) to con rm. Note: The system can be con gured during installation so the horn con rms UNLOCK on the  rst attempt. To LOCK the doors and ARM the Alarm: Press the LOCK but-ton for 0.5 second. The parking light will  ash once and the LED will turn ON to con rm the signal. The Starter-Kill will activate preventing the vehicle from being started with the key. If LOCK is pressed again (consecutively) the horn will honk once (if installed) to con rm. Note: The system can be con gured during installation so the horn con rms LOCK on the  rst attempt. ACTIVE OR PASSIVE ARMING Passive Mode will allow the Alarm to automatically rearm itself 60 seconds after it is disarmed if no door(s) (or trunk) are open(ed). Opening a door before the 60 seconds has expired will reset the timer but will also prevent the Alarm from locking the doors. This option is enabled by default and the Alarm will never arm as long as at least one door is left open. When this feature is disabled the Alarm is con-sidered to be in Active Mode which requires the remote transmitter to arm the Alarm. Note: The automatic rearm can be deactivated by pressing the UNLOCK button. IGNITION DOOR LOCKS Ignition Door Locks is an automatic passenger safety feature. When enabled the Remote-Starter/Alarm will automatically LOCK the vehicles doors once the key is turned to the ignition (ON/RUN) position and the brake pedal is pressed. The Remote-Starter/Alarm will also automatically UNLOCK the vehicles doors once the key is turned to the OFF position. SECURITY LOCK Security Lock triggers the vehicle’s door locks after the Remote-Starter has shut down. In some cases before the Remote-Starter is able to start the vehicle it must disarm the Original Equipment Manufac-ture (OEM) anti-theft system  rst (if equipped) to prevent a false alarm when the vehicle is running. After the Remote-Starter runtime has expired and the Remote-Starter shuts down, the Security Lock will re-arm the OEM anti-theft system in order to return the vehicle to its original protective state. TRUNK/HATCH RELEASE (ZONE 6) The vehicle’s trunk or rear hatch (if installed) can be opened by pressing the TRUNK button for 3 seconds. Page 12 / 15
RUNTIME On gas engines the Remote-Starter can run the vehicle for either 3, 7 or 15 (default) minutes. On diesel engines the Remote-Starter can run the vehicle for either 6, 15 or 30 (default) minutes. RUNTIME RESET Once the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter the runtime can be reset (before it expires) at any time by pressing the START button while the vehicle is Remote-Started. The horn/siren will sound once to con rm (If installed). ALARM AUDIBLE CONFIRMATION By default the Alarm will not send an audible con rmation (horn/siren) after the  rst signal has been received from the remote transmitter(s).SILENT : Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button ONCE and the park lights will  ash, but the horn/siren will NOT con rm the signal.AUDIBLE : Pressing the same button TWICE consecutively (LOCK or UNLOCK) the park lights will  ash, and the horn/siren will con rm the signal. The Alarm can be programmed to audibly con rm the signal on the  rst button press. (See Installation Guide). ALARM ACTIVITY The following characteristics enhance your vehicle’s security : If the Alarm system is active and the horn/siren is sounding : •Press the UNLOCK button ONCE to stop the alarm sound. The Alarm will remain active and will immediately resound if a zone is (re)triggered. •Press the UNLOCK button TWICE to stop the alarm sound, deactivate the Alarm, and unlock the doors. •When the vehicle is unlocked the horn/siren will sound with several short chirps to indicate the zone that has previously triggered the Alarm. (See Remote-Start/Alarm Diagnostics page 15) NOTE 1: If the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter and the Alarm is triggered the Remote-Starter will shut down immediately. This applies to Cold Start, Turbo and Idle Modes. However the vehicle can be Remote-Started at a later time (i.e. The Alarm will not cancel Cold Start Timer). NOTE 2: When an alarm infraction has occurred the LED on the antenna will quickly  ash 3 times followed of a long pause. It will continue to  ash until the alarm is disabled. OPEN ZONE NOTIFICATION When the LOCK button is pressed to ARM the Alarm (non Valet Mode), it will indicate if there are any zones which are currently active. The Alarm will sound with several short chirps to indicate which zone is active. A silent ARM or only 1 chirp indicates that no zones are currently active. (See Remote-Starter/Alarm Diagnostics page 15) FALSE ALARM DEACTIVATION This option will disable any zone that triggers the alarm 3 consecutive times. The zone will automati-cally re-enable once the LOCK button or the UNLOCK button is pressed. SHOCK SENSOR (ZONE 4) The Alarm system supports FSS2Z (2 stage - 3 wire) Shock Sensors. The Shock Sensor will produce a short audible warning on a weak shock, and will trigger a full alarm on a strong shock. Whenever the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter the shock sensor is ignored until the Remote-Starter shuts down. However the Alarm can be set to monitor the Shock Sensor if the vehicle is Armed AFTER the vehicle is Remote-Started. Page 13 / 15
VEHICLE LOCATOR/PANIC MODE To locate your vehicle in a busy parking lot press the LOCK button for 3 seconds to sound the horn/siren (If installed) and  ash the parking lights. Press unlock to cancel this Mode. Note: If an Alarm pre-triggered zone is in memory, this Mode will NOT clear this zone from memory. SENSOR DEACTIVATION In cases where a sensor is too sensitive and causes false alarms, it is possible to disable some of the zones. The Shock Sensor (zone 4), Auxiliary In (zone 7) and the Tilt Sensor (zone 8). To disable all of these zones press the auxiliary FUNCTION button followed by either the LOCK button or the UNLOCK button . Con rmation of 1 signal indicates the zones are activated and 2 signals indicates the zones are deactivated. TRANSMITTER RANGE Several factors may affect the operating range of the remote transmitter: •A weak transmitter battery. •The operating environment such as in the city and airports due to radio interference, cell phone towers, etc… •Several types of metal such as the vehicle itself, other vehicles, the windshields tint lines and large buildings. •The vehicle’s shape. Vans generally have poorer range. •The shape of the vehicle’s roof and the A-pillars cause considerable radio-frequency de ection. As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing with relation to the remote transmitter can affect range. Facing the front of the vehicle generally produces the greatest range; secondly facing the back. Facing either side of the vehicle will usually give the poorest range. •The range will be signi cantly poorer in crowded parking lots as opposed to empty parking lots. •Hold the transmitter at shoulder height or hold it against your chin so your body acts as a larger antenna. •The operating range will be somewhat poorer on vehicles equipped with a factory alarm or key-less entry system. FAILED REMOTE-START There are several different installation factors and devices that must work together in order for your vehicle to Remote-Start properly. In some cases a failed Remote Start is not the fault of the Remote-Starter itself. Here are some things to consider when the Remote-Starter fails. •Unmaintained Engine. If you have problems starting the vehicle with the key then the Remote-Starter will have the same dif culty. •Low Battery. A battery’s voltage can drop to less than 4 volts DC (1/3 of the original) during cold weather starting. Ensure your battery is working properly and is able to provide the proper current needed to start the vehicle in extreme temperatures. •Low Fuel, or water in the fuel tank. Keep your fuel tank full as much as possible to prevent the build-up of condensation in the tank.. •A corroded or broken Hood Pin switch. Visually inspect the hood pin switch frequently. Cover with a dialectic grease to prevent corrosion. •Trailer wiring. Corroded or improperly wired trailer wiring may cause the park light signal to bleed into the brake signal. This will cause the Remote-Starter to shut down as soon as the park lights are turned on. •Problems with the Bypass Kit (if installed). If you are able to put the Remote-Starter into Ready Mode, Idle Mode, or Turbo Mode, but you are unable to Remote-Start the vehicle then the Bypass Kit may be failing. Several Remote-Start attempts with a failed Bypass Kit may lock your vehicle for several hours. •Dash warning lights. The dash should display in exactly the same way when either starting the vehicle with the key, or with the Remote-Starter. If the dash displays any warning lights (Check Engine, ABS, or Theft) once Remote-Started then something is wrong. Stop using the Remote-Starter and have it looked at immediately.TIP: If your vehicle is experiencing any problems either starting or running with the key have it looked at by the Remote-Starter’s installer  rst.
