YOUR “CODE HOPPING“ TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new remote start system use the most advanced and
secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive remote
system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code
grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and re-
transmit at a later time to unlock your system.
Your code hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button is pressed,
so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the system will not respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of the
vehicle (children playing with your keys), the transmitter will not operate when you return
to the vehicle, and will need to be re-aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press the
lock/unlock button two times within a one second time period. The system will now
respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.
For reference the transmitter packaged with your system may not appear exactly as
shown below. This depiction is for reference only.
NOTE: As an option, this system has the ability to operate the vehicles horn which may
require some additional parts. If this feature is installed, the vehicle's horn will beep once
when you lock the doors, twice when you unlock the doors, twice when the Remote Start
feature is activated, and will beep during the car finder mode to allow you to find the
vehicle more easily in a crowded parking lot.
KEYLESS ENTRY
1. To lock your vehicle, exit the vehicle, close all doors, hood and trunk, then simply press
the lock button of your keychain transmitter. To unlock your vehicle, simply press the
unlock button of your keychain transmitter. As a keyless entry unit, for your convenience,
the parking lights will flash once when the doors are locked and twice when the door are
unlocked. If the optional illuminated entry feature has been added, the interior light will turn
on when the doors are unlocked and remain on for 30 seconds or until the ignition is
turned on.
Holding the lock/unlock transmitter button for 3 seconds will activate the car finder mode
causing the parking lights to flash and the optional horn to beep for 30 seconds or until the
button is activated again for 3 seconds or any other button is operated.
NOTE: This system has the ability to unlock the drivers door with the first press of the
unlock transmitter button and then unlock all other doors when the unlock button
is pressed a second time. This optional feature may require additional compo-
nents. Consult your installation center to determine if this feature has been added
to your vehicle.
Additionally this system can be programmed to automatically lock and unlock the doors
with the turning on and off of the ignition key.
ADDITIONAL REMOTE FUNCTION (CHANNEL 3)
This system has an additional feature that can be connected to a number of different
optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this channel are:
Remote Trunk Release
Remote Window Closure
Remote Garage Door Interface
To activate the optional accessory, press and hold the trunk/key button on the keychain
transmitter for four seconds.
