Setting Your Vehicle Into Ready Mode
In order to start the vehicle by remote, the unit must first be set to Ready Mode. If the unit is not set
to Ready Mode, it cannot remote-start the vehicle.
Once the system is set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote-started and stopped at wish.
To set the system to Ready Mode:
1. Ensure that all the doors are closed and that the shifter is in the NEUTRAL position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. press lock , unlock or start on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will go on running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close the door.
6. Press and hold either:
a. lock to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
b. unlock to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
c. stop to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
Remaining In Ready Mode
Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at wish. However, should
any of the following occur, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode - thus eliminating the remote start
option until Ready Mode is restored:
• Door opened;
• Hood opened;
• Brake pedal pressed;
• Parking brake disengaged;
• Ignition key turned to the ignition on ( run ) position.
Note: The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving 3 slow flashes
(parking lights).
Remote-starting
Press the start button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come on to inform you that the
Remote Car Starter has received your signal. Approximately 5 seconds later, the engine will start.
The parking lights will remain on during the pre-programmed run time of the engine.
If the vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down.
Driving Off
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the unlock button to disarm and unlock the
doors. Enter the vehicle and do the following:
Turn the ignition key to the ignition on ( run ) position. (Do not turn the key to the crank position
while the engine is running. This would cause the starter motor to re-engage.)
Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit.
You are now ready to drive off.
P. 4 User Guide
a. lock to lock the doors and shut down the engine after 60 sec.;
b. unlock to unlock the doors and shut down the engine after 60 sec.;
c. stop to shut down the engine immediately, without affecting the doors
(this will by-pass Turbo Mode).
Engine Run Time
If you have a gas engine, your Remote Car Starter can be programmed to run the engine for 3, 15,
or 25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the Remote Car Starter can be
programmed to run the engine for 8, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default).
Flashing LED
The user may decide to turn on or off LED flashing at any moment. To do so, simultaneously press
the trunk and lock buttons on the transmitter:
Flashing LED on : the L.E.D. will flash at all times (either under active arming or under passive
arming) to indicate that the Starter Kill is active.
Active Arming: the LED will flash normally.
Passive Arming: the LED will flash at a faster rate during the countdown preceding the
activation of the Starter Kill. Once the Remote Car Starter
is armed, the LED will flash at a slower rate.
In Valet Mode: the LED will remain lit without flashing.
Flashing LED off : the LED will not flash even when the Remote Car Starter is armed (either
under active or passive arming). Nevertheless, if the Remote Car Starter enters Valet Mode, the
LED will still remain lit without flashing as long as the ignition is off.
Horn Chirp Timing
The pulse duration can be configured by your installer (from 5 ms to 200 ms).
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with the same Remote Car Starter
model, to control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle,
simultaneously press the trunk button and the button of the function you wish to use.
Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer.

Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range
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
