REMOTE-STARTING

Page 8 / 23

REMOTE-STARTING THE VEHICLE
This Remote-Starter supports both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. For manual transmission vehicles see the Ready Mode section.

STEP 1

To remote-start the vehicle press the START button for approximately 3 seconds.

STEP 2

The parking lights will turn on to indicate a response to the RemoteStart 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 RemoteStarter is shut down.

If the vehicle fails to start on the first 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 (default) before giving up (see Failed Remote Start page 22).

WARNING : NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN OR ANIMALS IN A REMOTE-STARTED VEHICLE UNATTENDED.

ACCESSORY PRESET
HEATER & HEATED SEATS : 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 installation. 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 17).
DRIVER PRESETS : Some vehicles retain different seat, mirror and radio settings for each driver. Different driver presets are not controlled by the Remote-Starter, however they may be controlled with the Bypass/Interface Kit (ask your installer for more details).

Page 9 / 23
READY MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY)

REMOTE STARTING OPTIONS

CONFIGURABLE FONCTIONALITY DURING INSTALLATION
This Remote-Starter is designed to be highly flexible when integrating into original equipment (OEM). With the following programmable options the Remote- Starter/Alarm can control most electronic systems within the vehicle.

WARNING : THIS REMOTE-STARTER MUST BE INSTALLED BY A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL. IMPROPER MODIFICATIONS TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE RELIABILITY OF THE REMOTESTARTER AND/OR THE VEHICLE’S OPERATION.

CONFIGURABLE OPTIONS : Remote Door Locks Security Lock Runtime Reset

Active or Passive Arming Trunk / Hatch Release Secure Transmitter Mode

Ignition Door Locks Runtime

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 second.

The parking lights will flash twice and the LED will turn OFF to confirm 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 available) to confirm. Note : The system can be configured during installation so the horn confirms UNLOCK on the first attempt.

Page 19 / 23

To LOCK the doors and ARM the Alarm :

Press the LOCK button for 0.5 second.

The parking light will flash once and the LED will turn ON to confirm 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 available) to confirm. Note : The system can be configured during installation so the horn confirms LOCK on the first 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 considered 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 Manufacture (OEM) anti-theft system first (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 available) can be opened by pressing the TRUNK AUX button for 3 seconds.
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 confirm (If installed).

ALARM

Page 20 / 23

AUDIBLE CONFIRMATION
By default the Alarm will not send an audible confirmation (horn/siren) after the first signal has been received from the remote transmitter(s).
SILENT : Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button ONCE and the park lights will flash, but the horn/siren will NOT confirm the signal.
AUDIBLE : Pressing the same button TWICE consecutively (LOCK or UNLOCK) the park lights will flash, and the horn/siren will confirm the signal.
The Alarm can be programmed to audibly confirm the signal on the first 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 5).
Note 1 : If the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter and the Alarm is triggered the RemoteStarter 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 flash 3 times followed of a long pause. It will continue to flash 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 5).
FALSE ALARM DEACTIVATION
This option will disable any zone that triggers the alarm 3 consecutive times. The zone will automatically 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 21 / 23
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 available) and flash 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 AUX AUXILIARY button followed by either the LOCK button or the UNLOCK button. Confirmation 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 deflection.
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 significantly 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 keyless entry system.

FAILED REMOTE-START

Page 22 / 23

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 RemoteStarter will have the same difficulty.
· 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 available). 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 RemoteStarter 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 first. Having the vehicle worked on by another service centre may void any warranty and/or guarantees on the Remote-Starter and its Installation. Additionally the original installation centre may refuse all fees incurred by the latter service centre (if any).
